The second Group B games are at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. Cleveland’s First Energy Stadium host the final games of Group B between Panama and Martinique, and Nicaragua and the U.S. All of the Group B games are in NFL stadiums and should be full for the American games.

Qualcomm Stadium might not be the home to the NFL anymore but it will host Group C. Curacao and Jamaica playing in the early game in San Diego. The second game between Mexico and El Salvador should fill most of the 70,561 seats as the Mexican fans living in Southern California pack the stadium. Sports Authority Field in Denver might be empty for the game between El Salvador and Curacao. However, the stadium should fill up for the 2015 Gold Cup final rematch between Mexico and Jamaica. San Antonio’s Alamodome hosts the last games of the group stage. Jamaica face El Salvador in the early game and Mexico play Curacao in the second game.
