It’s a beautiful facility buts Jerry World isn’t iconic. As for not a bad seat in the house. Literally if you are in the upper deck on the side lines you have to basically watch on the big screen. That’s the definition of a bad seat being so far up you can’t see the game.

I’ve been there for soccer and the sight lines suck for it. I was sitting in the club section and it still wasn’t great. The way NFL stadiums are designed, the lower level isn’t build for soccer and it affects the rest of the viewing experience. Just like how Wembley isn’t meant for NFL. I’ve seen about 5 soccer matches there and have seen the Redskins play. The upper deck there if you are close enough worked out bc it’s build that you hang over the pitch.

It’s why the Spurs stadium was designed the way it was

if they got the funds to attend a world cup final, then they have the funds to city hop if desired before heading to dallas.

You would be surprised how many fans pinch the budget to to attend the World Cup. shite Argentina fans sell their cars and take second mortgages just to pay for flights.
