So there are a few world class NFL stadiums being built currently in LA and Las Vegas. This should give sx a couple new incredible stadiums to compete in and specifically I wonder if the Vegas Sx will move. LA specifically is going to be the top designed most expensive stadium in history. Vegas is another world class design that even has a view of the strip from inside the stadium. Theres a few more that will be built as well like Buffalo and DC, so LA, LV, and DC I could see being used.
Also I doubt many people here follow US soccer lol, buuut there are teams all over the country and in cities without NFL teams and almost every team has or is currently building a new stadium. This should mean more venues for sx.
Soccer ground floors are even bigger than football fields too. The soccer stadiums are also designed to be much steeper bringing seats closer to the field kind of like how old nhl/nba stadiums were in the glory days giving incredibly close viewing for all seats. Also the capacity is less too and sx doesnt fill up most NFL stadiums so this can make a muuuch better viewing experience for the people, and they can still hold 20-40k people but with better views. Should be pretty cool for the future of the sport. The future is bright.
New Vegas NFL stadium
New LA NFL stadium
New Sacramento soccer stadium
Charlotte Soccer stadium
Portland OR soccer stadium expansion
Nashville MLS
Minnesota MLS
Austin MLS
Orlando -look at how steep the seats are...incredibly close to the action
D.C. United field
In cities where they only use the lower bowl of seats anyways on NFL stadiums it can be viable to use some of the new MLS stadiums being built. The new Vegas stadium should be great for SX, MEC needs the outside of the stadium, buut... the Vegas NFL stadium could be great for the last SX race and championship right on the strip.

They definitely need another Canadian stop though.
Toronto FC capacity 30,000
Montreal MLS stadium 21,000
The soccer stadiums seem better because they are. Theyre really trying to get people to the games and provide intimate very close to the action experiences, so theyre designing stadiums with very steep seats so even nose bleeds are close to the action just higher up. Its the way old places like the Boston Garden were designed you were on top of the action. Theres a reason they designed stadiums like that back in the day before tv... the in game viewing was insane. Newer MLB/NHL arenas like Seattle and the Seattle NFL stadium were designed with this in mind. Since the soccer venues are all new they got to get on it early. For sx theyd be jumping and be out in front of you from higher up, itd be badass..
The new Vegas stadium will be the home of the Vegas Supercross and MEC, I heard Sam Boyd is going to be demolished or repurposed once the new stadium opens.

And, they probably like to keep people out of them for safety reasons.
Oh yea heres the stadium today
Maybe they cut Anaheim down to one event per year and move the other to the stadium in Inglewood? I would support that, since Inglewood is closer for me.
Some stadiums, mainly MLS 3.0 stadiums, have field level seats and those steep angles mentioned above. Others use NFL stadiums and SX goes there already. Some are multi purpose to suite American Football (like Toyota Stadium, BC Place, StubHub) and have higher walls. And then some, like Providence Park, are old football/baseball stadiums with exceptionally high walls around most of the stadium. I guess what I'm saying is that it just depends man. They're not all the same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
