The quarterfinal venues are now known, and the contrast makes that logistical doubt more concrete: Chicago will play Monterrey at SeatGeek Stadium, within its metropolitan area, while Real Salt Lake and León will have to go to Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Colorado, which is not RSL's home in Utah. América and Columbus will play in Carson, and Toluca and Austin in New Jersey. https://as.com/us/futbol/leagues-cup-confirma-sedes-en-estados-unidos-para-los-cuartos-de-final-de-leagues-cup-f202608-n/ I understand the possible logic of a fixed bracket, with the top four from each league and single‑match knockouts, but assigning venues afterward does not distribute the practical cost equally: Chicago stays in its area, Real Salt Lake leaves Utah, and the four Mexican clubs cross the border, even though the round is the same.

Ya se conocen las sedes de cuartos y el contraste vuelve más concreta aquella duda sobre la logística: Chicago jugará contra Monterrey en SeatGeek Stadium, dentro de su área metropolitana, mientras Real Salt Lake y León deberán ir a Dick's Sporting Goods Park, en Colorado, que no es la casa de RSL en Utah. América y Columbus jugarán en Carson, y Toluca y Austin en Nueva Jersey. https://as.com/us/futbol/leagues-cup-confirma-sedes-en-estados-unidos-para-los-cuartos-de-final-de-leagues-cup-f202608-n/ Entiendo la posible lógica de un cuadro fijo, con los cuatro mejores de cada liga y eliminatorias a partido único, pero asignar sedes después no distribuye igual el costo práctico: Chicago permanece en su área, Real Salt Lake sale de Utah y los cuatro clubes mexicanos cruzan la frontera, aunque la ronda sea la misma.
