What is the history of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, the 2024 Copa América stadium?
In 1967, a $102 million bond was approved to build a new sports complex with two stadiums, but the plan for a common roof was eventually abandoned in favour of an open configuration. Construction began in 1968 and Arrowhead Stadium was completed for the 1972 season. The stadium is known for its sharply sloping upper sections, which increases capacity but cannot be replicated in modern stadiums due to current regulations. In 2021, the naming rights to the stadium were sold to GEHA, changing the name to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The stadium will be one of the hosts for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and small renovations are planned to bring it up to FIFA requirements.
