Following up on the pondering of separate threads, wanted to provide a spot to discuss the US + Mexico + Canada hosting of WC 2026.

I, personally, hope they select stadiums with the largest capacity that have natural grass or the ability to convert to natural grass. Seeing that Canada's three cities play on FieldTurf (I believe BMO goes that route in lieu of grass), the US needs to be front and center with the playing surface that is easiest on the athletes and has the most neutral of bounces.
 
Agree...although there's nothing worse than a poorly-converted field where the turf starts tearing up and players risk injuries.

I would assume grass will be a requirement for the venues?

Wish they'd impose the same requirements on Women's World Cup (and MLS) venues.
