The vast, futuristic, multi-billion dollar stadiums which have staged group matches at the World Cup over in the United States during the past fortnight have been enjoyed by Scottish fans every bit as much as the on-field action.
The steepling stands, gigantic LED screens, cavernous air-conditioned concourses, retractable roofs and expansive tailgating areas at venues like the Boston Stadium, Dallas Stadium, Kansas City Stadium and Seattle Stadium have taken visiting supporters aback this month. Their architecture, scale and technology have been breathtaking.
