MetLife Stadium braces for a World Cup summer
By Camille Laurent
EAST RUTHERFORD - With a capacity north of 82,000, MetLife Stadium is the largest venue at this World Cup and the stage for the July 19 final.
It has already hosted Brazil's win over Morocco and France's victory against Senegal, and it stages Norway against Senegal on June 22 before Ecuador vs Germany and Panama vs England later in the group stage.
A Round of 32 tie on June 30 follows, with organizers reworking the surface to natural grass for the tournament. The atmosphere for the marquee group games has set an early benchmark.
