Tonights 18:00 Germany match is surely dangerous for the players? Local time it will be a midday kickoff. That sounds crazy to me. Houston, Texas in the south is surely going to be dangerously hot. The old saying "only made dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun" must surely come into play. Why on earth should they be playing at this time? It is obviously dangerous for the crowd too if they are open to the elements. As much as it is fun having this football festival in USA, it is surely the wrong time of year to do this. |  | | |  |

Looking at the stadium and the roof they might actually get away with the intense heat and being in direct sunlight. | | | |

And to think FIFA wanted to ban fans taking water bottles in for 'safety'! They are now allowing small disposable bottles only. |  | | |

Isn't Houston one of the stadiums with a retractable roof and air conditioning?

I’m sure we were linked with one of their players Kenji Gorre years ago when he was at Swansea? |  |

The weather at home looks pretty usable, I'd recommend a walk in the countryside or spot of gardening. Germany are going to win. |  |

The hottest part of the day is 3pm-5pm so surely 12pm is better than those times. |  | | |

Indeed, and England kick-off at 3pm local time in Dallas on Wednesday when forecasts have it around 35 degrees C |  | | |

Perspex or glass. So like a greenhouse presumably, preventing cooling air movement and trapping heat from the sun.
Just how much aircon is needed to combat that in a stadium?!! | |

On a similar theme, India played Aghanistan (cricket!) in Chandigarh last week. It was 43° in the middle. | |

Apparently todays game will me played under a closed roof with “temperatures controlled to a perfect 72°F (22.2°C)”.
Can we look into one for PR? |  | | |

Sounds nice. I wonder how 'out of town' this venue is? Apparently the Boston venue is 40 minutes from Boston. lol. So my worry about fans is that they have to get there and have to get back from there too in tough conditions to be in direct sunlight which is much warmer. | | | |

It's not like the NRG Stadium was purpose built for this World Cup and not tested. The stadium has hosted literally hundreds of matches since it opened in 2024. I would imagine the people who run the stadium know exactly what they are doing when it comes to temperature control and athlete well being.
Some people, and you especially, seem to looking for any stick to try and beat this World Cup with. | |

Just like NFL fans do on a regular basis? The stadium has held the Super Bowl twice. | |

That's a pretty big change in playing conditions- no wind to consider.
Has anyone been in one of these airconned stadiums? I struggle to get the powers that be to achieve a steady reasonable temperature in rooms at work, let alone a massive open area with a glass roof... | |
