The sports venue is at the forefront of other stadiums in the United States.
The Colombian National Team returns to action in the Copa América in the second match of Group D where it will face the Costa Rican team led by coach Gustavo Alfaro, who in his debut achieved an important draw against the Brazilians.
Now, the tricolor has the difficult task of beating the Ticos with the hope of qualifying early for the quarterfinals in one of the best stadiums that the United States has, the State Farm located in Phoenix.
The sports venue is the home of the Arizona Cardinals in the National Football League (NFL) and during these days of Copa América, it was chosen to host three exciting matches, with the one between the coffee growers and the Ticos being the first to be played in the tournament.
It has a capacity for nearly 64,000 spectators and will also host Mexico’s games against Ecuador on June 30 and a quarterfinal match that will be played on July 6 between the leader of group D, which could be Colombia, and the second. of C.
It cost approximately 455 million dollars and is the first stadium in the country to have a retractable roof, in addition to the fact that the playing field is natural and can be moved and stored.
In addition, if necessary, extra seats can be added to increase the capacity by up to 10,000 more people. Due to its impressive infrastructure and cutting-edge technology, it has been chosen as the venue for the Super Bowl in 2008, 2015 and 2023, and it has also hosted the Copa América Centenario in 2016.
One of the factors that stands out the most in this venue, as in most of the venues that host the continental tournament, is that they have air conditioning, so the high temperatures recorded in Arizona will not be a problem at the time of the initial whistle.
