Two levels of security operated at the stadium, run by Secret Service and TSA, requiring fans and media to pass through airport‑style scanners. A media member reported being directed to a different queue because security dogs were unavailable at that gate.

World Cup volunteers noted that early arrivals were higher than at previous matches. Gates opened at 11:00 local time—four hours before kick‑off—with additional gates opened sporadically to ease congestion.

Officials said there is no expected delay to kick‑off or any disruption to the match. The heightened security measures were driven by the attendance of former president Donald Trump, which added to the crowd traffic.

Overall, the event is proceeding on schedule with no anticipated impact on match timing despite the increased crowd management efforts.
