<Li> Although sponsored stadium names are listed in this article, they were not used in the actual bid documents, and would not be used during the World Cup . FIFA controls all naming rights related to the World Cup, and generally prohibits the use of such names . Even stadiums that bear the names of FIFA sponsors are subject to this restriction--the venue then known commercially as Coca - Cola Park in Johannesburg was known by its non-commercial name of Ellis Park Stadium during the 2010 World Cup, even though The Coca - Cola Company is one of FIFA's main sponsors . </Li> <Li> Capacities listed are estimated capacity for the FIFA World Cup . </Li> <P> The following venues were considered as possible candidate venues but were not chosen to be included in the final bid . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Image </Th> <Th> Stadium </Th> <Th> Capacity </Th> <Th> City </Th> <Th> State </Th> <Th> Surface </Th> <Th> Home teams </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Michigan Stadium </Td> <Td> 109,901 </Td> <Td> Ann Arbor </Td> <Td> Michigan </Td> <Td> Artificial </Td> <Td> Michigan Wolverines † </Td> <Td> Largest non-motorsports stadium in the country, and third - largest non-racing stadium in the world . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Jacksonville Municipal Stadium </Td> <Td> 77,000 </Td> <Td> Jacksonville </Td> <Td> Florida </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Jacksonville Jaguars † Gator Bowl </Td> <Td> Super Bowl XXXIX hosts </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Bank of America Stadium </Td> <Td> 73,500 </Td> <Td> Charlotte </Td> <Td> North Carolina </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Carolina Panthers † Belk Bowl ACC Championship Game </Td> <Td> 1999 and 2000 NCAA Men's Soccer Championship venue, 2014 and 2015 International Champions Cup, 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Cleveland Browns Stadium </Td> <Td> 73,200 </Td> <Td> Cleveland </Td> <Td> Ohio </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Cleveland Browns † </Td> <Td> Hosted International Matches </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Edward Jones Dome </Td> <Td> 67,268 </Td> <Td> St. Louis </Td> <Td> Missouri </Td> <Td> FieldTurf </Td> <Td> St. Louis Rams </Td> <Td> Indoor stadium </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Ford Field </Td> <Td> 67,188 </Td> <Td> Detroit </Td> <Td> Michigan </Td> <Td> FieldTurf </Td> <Td> Detroit Lions † Little Caesars Pizza Bowl </Td> <Td> Super Bowl XL hosts WrestleMania 23 hosts Indoor stadium </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Citrus Bowl </Td> <Td> 65,616 </Td> <Td> Orlando </Td> <Td> Florida </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Florida Tuskers † Capital One Bowl Champs Sports Bowl </Td> <Td> 1994 FIFA World Cup, 1996 Olympics and WrestleMania XXIV venue . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> O.co Coliseum </Td> <Td> 63,026 </Td> <Td> Oakland </Td> <Td> California </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Oakland Raiders † Oakland A's ‡ </Td> <Td> Multi-purpose stadium . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Soldier Field </Td> <Td> 61,000 </Td> <Td> Chicago </Td> <Td> Illinois </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Chicago Bears † </Td> <Td> 1994 FIFA World Cup venue . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Stanford Stadium </Td> <Td> 50,500 </Td> <Td> Palo Alto </Td> <Td> California </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> Stanford Cardinal † </Td> <Td> Rebuilt 1984 Olympics, 1994 FIFA World Cup and 1999 Women's World Cup venue </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> RFK Stadium </Td> <Td> 45,600 </Td> <Td> Washington </Td> <Td> District of Columbia </Td> <Td> Grass </Td> <Td> D.C.
