Argentina

Argentina is the reigning Copa America champion after being crowned in the 2021 edition at the Maracana and is, therefore, one of the big favorites.

Champions in the 2016 centennial edition with a golden generation, they did not expect what would follow, with two consecutive absences in the World Cup due to poor performances in the CONEMBOL qualifiers.

In New Jersey, the Copa America 2024 will be played at the MetLife Stadium, a venue for 82,500 spectators, which is also the largest capacity among the competition venues. Three matches will be played there, two in the group stage and the remaining match corresponding to one of the semifinals.

MetLife Stadium was inaugurated in 2010 and replaced the iconic Giants Stadium, which was located next door and was later demolished. The stadium is home to both the Giants and the Jets, the two New York teams with the largest NFL attendance. It also hosted CONCACAF Gold Cup games, the 2014 Super Bowl and three games of the 2016 Copa America.

The exterior of MetLife Stadium is covered in aluminum and changes its colors based on the event. When it hosts the New York Jets, it is green, while if the New York Giants are playing, it is blue. The red color is reserved for concerts and the rest of the shows receive them with the white color, which is the one that is expected to show during the America's Cup.

The background of the 2016 Copa America Final

The MetLife Stadium is one of the few venues that are repeated with respect to those that were proposed for 2016 and on that occasion also hosted three matches, but the most significant was the final, in which Chile defeated Argentina by penalties to be crowned champion. Curiosities of fate, in the next edition it will again face Chile vs. Argentina but in the group stage.

What are the best locations at MetLife Stadium?

MetLife Stadium, which is one of the largest in the United States, has a typical circular design composed of three levels:

• The lower level seats offer the best visibility.
• The seats in the middle tier also offer a good view for fans, and it is the largest section, so you can get tickets there at a good price. In fact, it offers 218 luxury boxes that during the Copa America 2016 final reached prices of over €1,000 per seat, but offer restaurant and beverage services and some of the best views of the playing field.
• The upper level is the furthest away and the cheapest seats.

How to get to MetLife Stadium?

• By bus... from New York City you can get there on the 160, 161, 163, 164 and 703 bus services.
• By subway... from New York you can get there on the A, B, C and D subway lines, although you will have to combine the routes with the 160 and 161 buses at the end of the route.
• By car... you can get to the stadium parking lot via I-95 in approximately 45 minutes.

When buying your Copa America tickets keep in mind:

• It is one of the main events in the United States in 2024, so if you want to attend some of the matches in New Jersey I advise you to buy your tickets as far in advance as possible. This will allow you to secure your seat and, also, get better rates than what you can find at the last minute.
• Consider that the summer in New York is part of the high season in the city and due to the proximity of this destination to New Jersey it is very likely that the influx of tourists will be very high. Thus, if you don't hurry to get your tickets, you may miss out.
• If you finally get tickets for the games at MetLife Stadium, keep in mind that it is the largest capacity venue of the Copa America and that the means of transportation from New York to the stadium usually collapse during game days. So I advise you to go well in advance, so you don't miss the start of the game.
• The temperature in New Jersey during the summer is usually very high, reaching peaks of 35°, so I advise you to carry light and comfortable clothes during the games and stay hydrated, especially during the transfers in local transportation and at the entrance to the stadium.

MetLife Stadium is the home of the Giants and the Jets, so under normal conditions during your visit to the city you could see an NFL game, however the America's Cup 2024 schedule does not coincide with the American Football League schedule, so you will have to look for experiences around the stadium and New Jersey.

The good news is that close to MetLife Stadium is Manhattan and there you can enjoy the best tours of New York and some of the most outstanding activities in the city, such as taking a tour of the Statue of Liberty, joining a tour of Chinatown or simply getting to know the most famous museums in the Big Apple.

On the other hand, keep in mind that the Copa America games at MetLife Stadium are scheduled for 9 p.m. East Coast time, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy New Jersey and New York activities during the daytime tours.
