As the Denver Broncos plan a new stadium for the 2031 NFL season, they are encouraged to learn from the Los Angeles Rams' experience with SoFi Stadium. SoFi Stadium had to remove 400 seats to meet FIFA's specifications for the upcoming World Cup, a mistake the Broncos are advised to avoid. The stadium, which cost approximately $5.5 billion, was not originally designed to accommodate World Cup dimensions, potentially leading to costly renovations. With an eye towards future major soccer events and a possible Super Bowl, Broncos management is urged to integrate FIFA's field requirements into their designs.
