FOOTNOTES : U.S. Soccer Cup to Move Indoors

Several games may be played indoors at the 1994 World Cup soccer finals in the United States, Scott LeTellier, chief operating officer of the 1994 finals, said today.

LeTellier said FIFA, the world governing body of soccer, had agreed to consider matches at covered dome stadiums used for major baseball and football games.

None of the stadiums has a grass surface, but LeTellier said at a news conference: “We have evidence that it will not be a problem to grow grass indoors.”

The 1994 World Cup will be staged in eight to 12 cities that have yet to be decided.

LeTellier said the United States is not in a position to rebuild many old stadiums or build new ones, as did Italian organizers of the 1990 World Cup.

“The dome stadia, because they are new, often have the best facilities for the spectators and the best field conditions,” he said.
