During the offseason, NFL teams should think of ways to fill up their stadiums.

Luckily, these massive edifices are enough to accommodate huge crowds for conventions and concerts.

They can comfortably seat thousands of people who are there to enjoy the show or hear people deliver their speeches.

But four years from now, some of these stadiums will be a part of history as the entire North American continent will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

It’s the first time in history that three nations (United States, Canada, and Mexico) will host the prestigious tournament.

It’s also the first World Cup Final to feature 48 teams instead of 32.

Their win is also the second time in history that the World Cup will be hosted by more than one country.

In 2002, Korea and Japan shared responsibilities in hosting the event, marking it as the first World Cup held in Asia.

Fast forward to now and 11 NFL cities are part of the hosting duties for 2026.
