i hope so as well! But i haven't seen confirmation anywhere. It just says it's a Group G match. The other Group G match (Match 39) same day is at SoFi.
Unfortunately, it may depend on what team is drawn

Easiest route? I'd say 'fighting chance' at best.

Hardest route? I want no part of Morocco and 'Hell No' to Norway because the Evil Giant Norwegian Snow Goblin is having the year of his goddamned life and I think would shred our back line. Hell...at the moment he'll shred anyone's back line.

Italy? Hard to say. Depends on which Italy shows up.

match schedule will not be confirmed until after the draw

It has been confirmed by FIFA that even though we will know which teams are in each of the 12 groups, we will not know where they are playing until Saturday, December 6. Why? Here’s the explanation from FIFA:

“While the Final Draw will determine which teams play each other in the group stage, the updated match schedule, including the stadium assigned to each match and the respective kick-off time, will be confirmed on Saturday, 6 December.

“The match allocation process that follows the draw aims to ensure the best possible conditions for all teams while, where possible, enabling fans all over the world to watch their teams play live across different time zones.”

So, basically, after the groups are drawn FIFA will then place the games in the best location possible when it comes timezones.

Therefore teams from Asia and Europe will likely play earlier in the day and be based on the East Coast, while teams from North, Central and South America will play in the later games and that probably means they will be based on the West Coast for the group stage.

It is expected that the 2026 World Cup schedule in full will be released by FIFA at around 12pm ET on Saturday, December 6.
