Nestled in the World Cup schedule announcements Sunday was this nugget: The home of the Dallas Cowboys will be temporarily renamed 'Dallas Stadium.'

USMNT players praise AT&T Stadium field conditions amid Copa America pitch criticismA legitimate argument could be made that the Americans could have won by a wider margin given the missed opportunities on the doorstep, but another win in Arlington went to the venue itself.

It all started with taking out the artificial turf and putting down 10-plus inches of top soil on the concrete. Then, Kentucky bluegrass brought in from a sod farm in Colorado was laid two weeks prior to the tournament's start.Lo and behold ... they took the time to put in a proper pitch and it paid dividends.

In order to comply with FIFA's field regulations for the World Cup, the playing surface at AT&T Stadium will be raised from where it currently stands. Doing so will accommodate the wider field dimensions required by FIFA -- and take some seating areas out of commission. While the SBJ said the renovations were expected to start in January, the upgrades aren't expected to be completed until July 2025.
