Supporters of the England national football team have firmly immersed themselves in the culture of the USA during the 2026 World Cup.
The Three Lions kicked off their tournament with a 4-2 win over Croatia last week, with that match taking place in Arlington, Texas.
Said fixture was held at the AT&T Stadium (renamed the Dallas Stadium for the duration of the World Cup), and after visiting the venue, one English fan has admitted that his country owes the Americans an apology.
English fan left in awe of US stadiums during World Cup
As quoted by the Independent, the fan said: “We owe apologies to America because their football stadiums are so much better than ours.
“This is the Dallas Stadium and it’s absolutely incredible. England just beat Croatia, but look at the size of the stadium.”
Unlike in England, where the focus is basically all on football, the USA have a plethora of major stadiums to host a lot of different sports.
The Michigan Stadium is the biggest stadium in America with a capacity of 107,601, and is the home for the University of Michigan Wolverines football team.
In comparison, Wembley Stadium, which hosts the national team’s games as well as finals of the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and more, is the biggest stadium in England.
However, Wembley only has a capacity of 90,000, nearly 20,000 less than the USA’s biggest venue.
Meanwhile, after travelling to Texas, England then made the trip to Boston to face off with Ghana at the Boston Stadium on Tuesday, which has a capacity of 65,878.
The Three Lions will now compete at the New York New Jersey Stadium (82,500 capacity) on June 27 for their final group game of the World Cup.
All three venues are bigger than what most English football fans experience on a weekly basis, with the average size of Premier League stadiums just 41,320.
