The Stadium. Have you ever entered an empty stadium? Try it. Stand in the middle of the field and listen. There is nothing less empty than an empty stadium. There is nothing less mute than stands bereft of spectators.At Wembley, shouts from the 1966 World Cup, which England won, still resound, and if you listen very closely you can hear groans from 1953 when England fell to the Hungarians. Montevideo’s Centenario Stadium sighs with nostalgia for the glory days of Uruguayan soccer. Maracanã is still crying over Brazil’s 1950 World Cup defeat. At Bombonera in Buenos Aires, drums boom from half a century ago. From the depths of Azteca Stadium, you can hear the ceremonial chants of the ancient Mexican ball game. The concrete terraces of Camp Nou in Barcelona speak Catalan, and the stands of San Mamés in Bilbao talk in Basque. In Milan, the ghosts of Giuseppe Meazza scores goals that shake the stadium bearing his name. The final match of the 1974 World Cup, won by Germany, is played day after day and night after night at Munich’s Olympic Stadium. King Fahd Stadium in Saudi Arabia has marble and gold boxes and carpeted stands, but it has no memory or much of anything to say.

He stated that “it is to be expected that the most important thing about this World Cup will happen outside the stadiums, in the streets and in the fields, on the coasts and in the mountains, where what will be celebrated is not the spectacle, but memory and struggle, resistance and rebellion.”

One star Google review of met life stadium: "I am a professional driver in that stadium. Never, ever ever was organized for pickup customers and drop them super uncomfortable. There is endless cars. Nothing is organized, never ever. The police and the security guard never consider other people. They do not know how to handle the traffic and different situation. There is no organized parking lot, especially for the professional drivers to pick up the guest. Do not go to met life stadium. You can see the results of the games in the newspapers and TV way better than you getting stressed. And your driver getting stressed."
Fascism is an outgrowth of capitalist liberal democracies. The far right virulently demonizes criminalized and illegalized others, feeding off what most liberals believe to be the otherwise reasonable institution of borders—what Democrats call the “lawful administration of immigration” in contrast to the paramilitary violence of ICE. Yet there is nothing coherent about the definition of “criminal alien,” “illegal,” or “unauthorized arrival,” discursive categories that are always shifted and policed to maintain cheapened labor and racial citizenship. In this way, the recent accounts of Indigenous people being apprehended by ICE are not ironic: in fact, some of the earliest political battles against immigration were launched by Crees, Chippewas, and Yaquis who, in the nineteenth century, were considered “illegal” by an expansionist settler state. Today, “illegal migrants” are scapegoated to deflect responsibility for austerity agendas and billionaire profits generating mass inequality.

Here’s the catch: you can’t buy your way to that kind of atmosphere. You can lay out all the cash in the world for Messi and it doesn’t make for the kind of atmosphere that is rowdy and dynamic. Teams in MLS have done the opposite of what they need to do: clamping down on fans, suppressing personality, and doing the sort of revenue maximization that makes for customers and not supporters.
