Now that we have a trackless field, there is no chance that Stanford Stadium gets to host again, and, in any case, a lot has changed since 1994.

Do you mean because we no longer have the seating capacity? At 50K, Stanford Stadium is actually bigger than 10 of the 12 Russian venues this year. However, it looks like for the 2026 bid, the potential American host cities are all using NFL stadiums, at around 70K capacity (Levi's is the local candidate)

Stanford does continue to host some soccer games - the LA Galaxy vs SJ Earthquakes rivalry game is usually played here.
