Which one would you love to see it in most?


-Yes, this is hypothetical because sadly, FIFA regulations require seats with backs, strict field sizes and some other nonsense that disqualifies a large number of our huge campus stadiums. Many ADs simply don't like using their stadiums for much of anything outside their intended purpose.

-Hypothetically it would not be against Mexico or some team that could outsell us.... so maybe an England or Australia ya know, someone fun.


Ones that come to mind are Notre Dame Stadium, Bryant Denny, the Big House, Autzen, The Swamp, The Horseshoe, Death Valley or the Doak.

Some College arenas that have hosted top football are Sanford Stadium, Legion Field, the Rose Bowl, FIU Stadium, L.A. Coliseum, Stanford Stadium,

yes this is due to excitement about the GC final and college football approaching 20 days away.

I mean obviously Tiger Stadium although it would be really weird.

The Swamp would be my next choice

I think field width might be a huge issue at a bunch of these stadiums. Maybe not, though.

the good thing is, just about every D1 field can fit a soccer field, but you'd had hardly any room for the coaches, subs, assistants etc area

Superdome. That counts, right?

So you get a really skinny field, which makes play uglier.

It also plays to the USMNT's disadvantage now that we're playing pretty football.

Yup, very little room for corner kicks last night.

A lot of college stadiums, SEC ones at least, seem pretty wide so I think they could fit a field in most.

I would love to see one at Faurot Field. The hill could be transformed into SRO, packed by the AO

Basically any big stadium would be a cool sight imo.
