As the World Cup final approaches, this tournament will long be remembered for its drama and some classic matches.
Just as important for the fans at the games has been their experience inside the venues.
They have stepped into football history at Mexico's Azteca Stadium. They have seen the luxurious design of the Sofi stadium outside Los Angeles. The have experienced the state-of-the-art retractable roof and climate control of the AT&T stadium outside of Dallas.
But there has been one venue that has generated sustained scrutiny, and it happens to be staging the big finale – the NY-NJ Stadium, or the MetLife Stadium outside New York.
The criticism includes everything from its design and transportation to the quality of the pitch.
So was it the right choice for Sunday's final between Spain and Argentina?
