StadiumDB.com presents Copa America 2024 Stadiums, USA.
Hello! Copa America 2024, featuring 10 teams from the Confederation of South American Football and 6 from North, Central and Caribbean America, will be held in the US.
The winner will later compete in the 2025 CONMEBOL UEFA Cup of Champions against the UEFA Euro 2024 winner.
But what does Copa America mean for us? Obviously, the stadiums where the tournament will be played.
There are as many as 14 venues, and in this video we will show them all, heading from West to East.
And the first is…
Levi's Stadium, Capacity 68,500, Santa Clara.
The stadium officially opened on July 17, 2014.
Designed by the architectural firm HNTB, Levi's Stadium features a multipurpose design with a focus on fan experience and green technology.
It has a seating capacity of 68,500, with the potential to expand to around 75,000 for major events, such as the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup.
The stadium, located in California, has been the home venue for the NFL team San Francisco 49ers since 2014.
Sophie Stadium, Capacity 70,000, Inglewood.
It occupies the former site of the Hollywood Park racetrack and is located near Los Angeles International Airport.
Opening in September 2020, Sophie Stadium serves as a joint home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.
This makes it one of the few stadiums that is also home to two NFL teams.
The stadium is also expected to host games of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Allegiant Stadium, Capacity 65,500,
Las Vegas.
Construction of Allegiant Stadium began in November 2017 and took just over two and a half years to complete, an excellent result for an investment of this scale.
It finished on schedule.
The stadium has a futuristic streamlined shape, like a luxury gadget or sports car.
Including the backstage area, the stadium has 10 stories.
The venue's external color scheme is dominated by metallic black and silver.
State Farm Stadium, Capacity 63,400, Glendale.
The stadium is the only one in the US and one of the few in the world that not only offers a retractable roof, but also a pitch that extends outwards.
Thanks to the platform that extends out under the south stands, the turf can resist in ideal conditions on a daily basis.
In the first half of the year alone, as many as 91 events took place here, including American football and football matches or concerts.
Q2 Stadium, Capacity 20,700, Austin.
In designing the stadium, architects from the Gensler Studio were guided by the openness and relaxed atmosphere of Austin.
Creating spaces with a variety of character within the stadium, fans have both enclosed facilities on one side and open terraces on the other.
The entire facility is, by the way, very airy, but here the main goal was to ensure the best possible ventilation.
This is because the MLS League was concerned about playing matches in the summer heat of Texas.
AT&T Stadium, Capacity 80,000, Arlington.
The stadium features a retractable roof and can host concert, basketball games, motocross, and more.
It replaced Texas Stadium, which was the home of Cowboys from 1971 to 2008, called Jerry World and the Death Star.
It is the NFL's largest stadium in terms of seating capacity, seating 80,000 people, with the ability to expand to approximately 100 seats.
The venue's record attendance for an NFL regular season game was 105,121 fans in 2009.
NRG Stadium, Capacity 72,200, Houston.
Completed in 2002 at a cost of $352 million, the stadium has the distinction of being the first NFL facility with a retractable roof,
symbolizing the combination of innovation and functionality in sports architecture.
It has a seating capacity of 72,220, but can be expanded to accommodate larger events.
The stadium has also been selected as the venue for the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship and will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Children's Mercy Park, Capacity 18,500, Kansas City.
The U.S. women's national team and the Olympic team played their matches here at this cozy venue.
The stadium was also the world's first example of a charitable sponsorship deal.
The name was donated for six years to the Lifestrong Foundation Fighting Cancer.
The host pledged a sum of no less than $7.5 million, depending on the profits made by the arena.
GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Capacity 76,400, Kansas City.
The stadium underwent a significant $375 million renovation in 2010, which allowed it to also become the future host of the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches.
It has been the site of college football and other football games.
Construction of Arrowhead Stadium began in 1968 following a $102 million bond issue approved by voters in 1967 for a new sports complex,
which was initially to include both a baseball and football stadium with a common movable roof.
It is worth noting that it is the largest sports facility in terms of capacity in Missouri.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Capacity 71,000, Atlanta.
Since its opening, the stadium has hosted significant events, including the 2018 MLS Cup and Super Bowl LIII in 2019.
The stadium is also set to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Architecturally, the stadium is famous for its retractable roof, which consists of eight translucent triangular panels that operate on parallel rails and resemble the wings of a bird when opened.
Inspired by Rome's Pantheon, the design was a transparent, lightweight polymer material for the roof, allowing light control and offering views of the Atlanta skyline.
The standout feature inside is the Halo, a ring-shaped video board measuring 58 by 1,100 feet, one of the largest in the world.
Copa America 2024 first match will be held right here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Exploria Stadium, Capacity 25,500, Orlando.
A new stadium appeared on the horizon with a plan to establish an MLS club in the city.
Interestingly, construction of the stadium began with a capacity of 19,000 spectators in mind,
but Orlando City's debut season, played at the nearby Citrus Bowl, was so popular that a decision was made during construction to build a second-level south stand to seat around 25,500.
This resulted in a cost increase from $110 million to $155 million.
Hard Rock Stadium, Capacity 65,300, Miami Gardens.
The construction of a venue was the initiative of Miami Dolphins founder Joe Robbie.
After years of playing at the Orange Bowl downtown, the club moved north.
Here, surrounded by huge car parks, a stadium with two levels of seating for 75,000 spectators was erected in 1987.
At the time, its trademark was eight spiral ramps in the corners, leading spectators to the upper stands.
Copa America 2024 final will be held right here, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Bank of America Stadium, Capacity 74,500, Charlotte.
During its construction, fans were able to purchase private seat license,
and the huge interest was one of the factors that led to the California Panthers being included in the NFL League.
Upgraded between 2014 and 2016, the facility currently has 153 luxury boxes.
The screens and six small domes above each of the venue's main gates have also been replaced.
MetLife Stadium, Capacity 82,500, East Rutherford.
Opened in 2010 as a replacement for Giants Stadium, it became the most expensive stadium built in the United States at the time,
with a cost of approximately $1.6 billion.
It serves as home to both the New York Giants and New York Jets of the National Football League NFL,
making it one of only two NFL stadiums shared by two teams.
The stadium was a venue for Super Bowl XLVIII and is expected to host multiple games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This stadium was the easternmost venue on the list of Copa America 2024 arenas.
So, it closes today's video.
