ALTITUDE VERDICT
Lumen Field sits 50m (164ft) above sea level, comfortably below the 1,500m mark where thin air begins to affect play. Altitude is not a factor here. Conditions at this venue come down to heat, humidity and the roof rather than elevation.
One of the cooler, milder host climates; partial roof covers the stands but not the pitch.
