ESPN FC reports that MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey—and not Southern California’s Rose Bowl — will host the final of next summer’s Copa America Centenario. The home of theNFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets, located eight miles west of New York City, was the original choice of U.S. Soccer, which will serve as the local organizing committee for the special one-offtournament that will feature top national teams from North and South America, according to a source. The 93,000-capacity Rose Bowl is 10,000 seats bigger than MetLife Stadium, but the latter has moresuites and luxury boxes.
