After pitch criticisms from Argentina, USMNT unsure how field conditions will fare at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
ATLANTA — One of the hot button topics surrounding the early matches at Copa América is field conditions. The tournament only started a week ago, but coaches and players have frequently been asked about various playing surfaces, given that many of the NFL stadiums hosting games use artificial turf instead of natural grass.
The USWNT played here in April for the SheBelieves Cup and drew 50,644 fans, breaking the attendance record for the largest crowd ever for a home friendly. Berhalter said Wednesday that 'it's hard to tell now' how the field looks. The team has not trained on it, and the coach only got a brief look about 24 hours before kickoff. 'What I'd say is it looks to be in very good condition,' Berhalter said. 'We're not sure how it's gonna play though.
