MetLife Stadium and SoFi Stadium will be changed to New York New Jersey Stadium and Los Angeles Stadium, respectively.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A young couple from California celebrating their wedding anniversary. A Maryland boy going into the eighth grade but not before seeing his sports idol.

Twenty-four hours after the tragic and shocking death of Grant Wahl, an American journalist who died while reporting on the World Cup in Qatar, his brother Eric is imagining a moment from their childhood — more specifically, the basement of the Mission, Kansas house in which they grew up.
