A FIFA delegation is in North Texas to plan for the 2026 World Cup.
Boiling Crab Co. sits just yards away from the stadium's front doors. They're used to hosting massive football tailgate parties but are ready to handle the soccer tailgaters in three years.
"It gets super busy but we're super stoked about more business that's going to be coming our way,” said manager Shelby Strickland."It's going to be super great.”that every match that takes place in North Texas would be like a Super Bowl, economically speaking. "It's bringing a lot of business, it's helping a lot of the businesses out here – it's really impacting everything,” said Strickland.
But before AT&T stadium can host any FIFA match, field improvements have to be made. The field needs to be raised 4 to 6 feet to expand the width and comply with official field measurements set by FIFA officials. According to FC Dallas officials, those renovations could cost millions, paid for by an economic trust fund run by the state. It’s unknown at this time exactly how much the cost to renovate the field.FIFA officials are expected to announce later this year or early next year which city will host the final – and exactly how many matches will be played at AT&T Stadium.
