Los Angeles Stadium (temporarily renamed from SoFi Stadium) ahead of the 2026 Fifa World Cup.
For European football fans visiting America for the first time, gob smacked would be a nice way of putting their feelings towards the stadium experience into perspective.
One football supporter has gone viral after sharing his amazement at what he encountered inside a World Cup venue in Dallas, admitting he had never experienced anything like it despite attending stadiums across Europe.
The fan, who goes by TravelTomTom on Instagram, explained that from the outside, the stadium looked like any ordinary football ground. But the moment he walked through the doors, everything changed.
Instead of narrow concourses and basic food kiosks, he described stepping into what felt more like a luxury shopping mall. Air conditioning, enormous open spaces, restaurants, retail stores and premium facilities left him stunned, comparing the experience to walking through an airport or major train station rather than a football stadium.
