The glamour of hosting the World Cup comes with the pain of extensive renovations for the 16 venues scattered across North America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Construction crews across the continent have spent thousands of hours overhauling the stadiums \u2014 including 11 NFL arenas \u2014 to meet FIFA specifications ahead of next month\u2019s global event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The degree of construction has varied from venue to venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most U.S. sites needed a completely fresh grass surface to replace the turf used at many American fields. Other NFL stadiums needed seats removed to provide the space required for the larger soccer pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even sites that were expressly designed with international soccer as one of the uses in mind \u2014 such as Miami\u2019s Hard Rock Stadium and Atlanta\u2019s Mercedes-Benz Stadium \u2014 are getting minor face-lifts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, Mercedes-Benz Stadium reconfigured its seating to enhance sightlines and ensure space for more cameras, for example.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the stadiums that are hosting these games weren\u2019t originally designed to host a game with those requirements, so they\u2019ve actually had to do some interior modifications to get ready for the games,\u201d said Tyler Johnson of Henderson Engineers, which is working with five U.S. stadiums ahead of the World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201dThat could look like removing portions of the lower bolt to expand the playing surface area or having to replace artificial turf with a natural grass alternative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Many of the adjustments, such as the grass fields, are temporary. But for many venues, the world\u2019s biggest sporting event provided an excuse to overhaul hospitality and fan experience offerings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery stadium is a little bit different,\u201d said Ryan Sickman, the global sports director for Gensler, which is contributing to the preparations for six of the 16 World Cup venues.<\/p>\n

Under-the-radar changes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adjusted seating and fresh fields will immediately catch fans\u2019 eyes. But many FIFA requirements will fly under the radar. For example, stadiums must ensure VIPs have a route in and out of the stadium that prevents them from crossing paths with media or the general public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s definitely some improvements that were needed within the venues to allow those separations to happen,\u201d Mr. Sickman said. \u201cBut also they took it as an opportunity to create some new hospitality opportunities that they can capitalize on, as part of the World Cup as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the World Cup less than a month away, most of the venues have completed their overhauls to appease the FIFA powers-that-be.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Countless hours of work have also contributed, for FIFA sponsorship reasons, to temporary name changes for some of the country\u2019s biggest stadiums and to the erasure of the previous names.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gillette Stadium, the Massachusetts home of the NFL\u2019s New England Patriots, is no more. The same can be said for Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and Lumen Field in Seattle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every stadium with a sponsored name, including all 11 U.S. venues, is required to operate under a temporary title for the upcoming World Cup. It\u2019s a FIFA requirement designed to prevent any conflicts between a stadium\u2019s sponsors and the sponsors of the event itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cosmetic change is a minor inconvenience compared to some of the more drastic adjustments in the stands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Workers removed 4,500 tons of concrete and 5,100 cubic yards of earth from Kansas City\u2019s stadium to ensure enough space for the wider soccer pitch and an increased on-field media presence. Officials reported that 3,500 seats were relocated in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the exact investment and labor required varies from stadium to stadium, the undertakings are substantial. Officials from AT&T Stadium in Texas said installing a new grass field required 45,000 hours of combined labor from construction crews.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The adjustments might cause fans to look twice. Kansas City\u2019s pitch will not be centered in the stadium. Due to the construction restraints, the playing surface will be slightly off-kilter compared to the placement of the NFL field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s an easy move compared to the 17,000 seats added to Toronto\u2019s BMO Stadium ahead of the international tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That added capacity will be temporary though, serviced in part by recycled stands that were used during the 2024 Olympics in Paris.<\/p>\n

The temporary seats passed a test run when Inter Miami and superstar Lionel Messi played a game against Toronto FC, even if the stands looked like \u201can erector set.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took a lot of heat for that publicly. People were saying, \u2018Oh man, what is this thing? It\u2019s going to fall down; it\u2019s unsafe.\u2019 All of that stuff,\u201d Mr. Sickman said. \u201cIt\u2019s perfectly fine. It\u2019s been tested and the sightlines were amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grass vs. turf<\/strong><\/p>\n

The seating changes will catch fans\u2019 attention, but athletes are already taking note of the playing surfaces. After years of resisting natural grass \u2014 turf is easier to care for and allows for carefree use during events like concerts \u2014 NFL stadium operators invested in grow lights and fresh water for the World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every participating venue has already installed a new grass field based on careful instructions from World Cup organizers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Philadelphia\u2019s stadium brought in grass from New Jersey. In Los Angeles, the owners of SoFi Stadium installed an irrigation system and had the surface delivered from Washington state in refrigerated trucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Executives at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, bragged about the 45,000 hours of combined labor and 15,000 tons of materials required to install grass grown in Colorado.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The venue currently hosts a series of pink grow lights hanging from the rafters. They\u2019re designed to ensure the playing surface is pitch-perfect next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a first for the world to hang these grow lights,\u201d said Ewan Hodge, FIFA\u2019s head of pitch infrastructure. \u201cThey\u2019re all LED grow lights, providing basically the heartbeat to the pitch to allow it to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

That new grass field sits two feet above where the Cowboys\u2019 turf typically sits. The stadium, like so many NFL venues, also removed some of its seating to accommodate the extra space needed for corner kicks and media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cowboys players will look on with envy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0While the NFL owners who also run World Cup stadiums trot out real grass for the visiting soccer players, football athletes dream of a day when they get the same option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at FIFA, [NFL owners] will roll out the green carpet for soccer players,\u201d J.C. Tretter, head of the NFL players\u2019 union, said on the \u201cNot Just Football\u201d podcast. \u201cWe want good, solid fields.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease? @NFL,\u201d Cowboys All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb wrote on Instagram, reposting a poll that claimed 92% of NFL athletes prefer grass over turf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the NFL\u2019s players will have to negotiate for that. After the World Cup ends, the new grass surfaces will be removed just as quickly as they arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more flexibility with the way we handle our surface at the stadium. We have no belief that it\u2019s any safer to play on grass,\u201d Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told Pro Football Talk. \u201cThe turf, actually like many things, improves the economics of being able to play this game and our players are the biggest benefactors of all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cost of doing business<\/strong><\/p>\n

The World Cup renovations have come with a steep price tag for the host venues. Mexico City\u2019s Estadio Banorte, better known by its historic Azteca Stadium name, invested $80 million in construction, while Lumen Field in Seattle has spent $19.4 million and Kansas City\u2019s Arrowhead Stadium has needed $42.5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BMO Field in Toronto, home of the MLS FC Toronto and the CFL\u2019s Argonauts, leads the financial charge with its $146 million investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s World Cup is a novelty among international sporting events. Unlike previous iterations and Olympic competitions, no new venues were built for the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s become a point of pride for developers like Mr. Sickman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every few years, a story goes viral that depicts a former Olympic or World Cup venue that has fallen into disrepair after a lack of use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a part of something that isn\u2019t going to be a white elephant after a mega-event. The City of Toronto obviously needed to get BMO Field to 45,000 to be able to host a World Cup,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don\u2019t need 45,000 seats for run-of-the-mill Toronto FC games. Those 17,000 added seats are going away.\u201d<\/p>\n

But many developers and contractors have spent up to four years working on an event that culminates with millions of spectators next month. They haven\u2019t thought too far ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is so much focus on the events this summer that it has occupied, I would say, 99% of everybody\u2019s prioritization throughout the last year,\u201d Mr. Johnson said. \u201cSo conversations are a little bit quieter on what happens beyond the events of this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMO Field\u2019s added seats will be gone by the fall. The next steps are less clear for venues that saw concrete ripped from their lower bowls, as was the case in Kansas City and Philadelphia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a little bit flexible on what they want to do in the future,\u201d Mr. Johnson said. \u201cThey may end up going back and building back in with concrete, or that may utilize the temporary seating as a little bit more of a long-term play until they can get that next project underway.\u201d<\/p>\n
