On the list of places hosting important World Cup qualifying matches this year, there is Wembley in London, there is Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, and there is Rio Tinto Stadium in the home of “Big Love.”

That is not a mistake. When the United States national soccer team plays an important qualifier against Honduras on Tuesday night, it will do so in Sandy, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City perhaps best known for being the home of the Henricksons, the fictional fundamentalist Mormon family on the popular HBO series “Big Love.” The Henricksons were a man, his three wives and their eight children on the show, which ran from 2006 to 2011.

From a soccer perspective, the choice of location is not unusual. Rio Tinto is a beautiful soccer-only stadium that was built for Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer. But in a broader sense, the stadium’s relative obscurity highlights the nomadic nature of the United States team. Unlike teams from many countries, including each of the other five nations competing in the final round of Concacaf’s qualifying tournament, the United States soccer team does not have a permanent home.

This reality raises two obvious questions: first, should the team have a dedicated stadium the way Mexico, for example, does with Azteca? And second, if the United States ever wanted to settle down in one particular place, where should it be?
