Temperatures during the outdoor game at Allianz Field were in the single digits and reached the negatives with wind chill. The game could become the coldest in U.S. Men’s Soccer history.

To prepare, U.S. Soccer provided fans with hand warmers and had extra medics on hand in case people needed assistance with frostbite. Fans were also allowed to bring battery powered heat devices like gloves and blankets inside the stadium.
