I know that they had some World Cup matches at the old Stanford Stadium twenty years ago, but I guess the new stadium would not be an option for future World Cups/Olympics with its limited seating?

I believe it was in the mix when the U.S. bid for the '18 and '22 World Cups. However, the Santa Clara 49ers stadium would probably be more likely to garner any big-time soccer matches.

New Stanford Stadium is also a great stadium for soccer. I saw a Chelsea-Club America friendly there a few years back; John Terry won the match with a vicious header off of a corner.
