During a media tour this week, officials highlighted upgrades and operational plans designed to accommodate hundreds of thousands of visitors expected to travel to Seattle for the world's largest sporting event. The work includes stadium modifications, transportation planning, and fan experience improvements aimed at meeting FIFA's tournament requirements.
