Stadium Central

Significant activity is occurring in North America towards building stadiums for MLS soccer teams. News in USA Today discusses problems with the new stadium for the New York Red Bulls in Harrison, NJ. Despite these problems, new stadiums have been built or are planned for LA, Dallas, Columbus, Chicago, Toronto, Colorado, New York, DC, and Salt Lake. These stadiums are smaller than those used for american football and provide a more appropriately sized venue for the matches. The design for the Red Bulls Stadium aims to replicate that of European venues by having an overhang above the seating bowl.
