I just bought tickets for the 2016 Copa America Centenario Argentina vs Chile game at the Levi Stadium in Santa Clara California. My question is, how do I know which direction the players will be lining up to sing the national anthem? I don't want to be staring at the back of their heads o want to be facing them, and I need to know which side of the stadium I would have to be sitting at.

They normally seem to face the tunnel they came out of (assuming it isn't in a corner), where the dugouts are. – razethestray Apr 4 '16 at 20:57

Yea but there are like 6 dugouts 1 on each side and in every corner – EconDude Apr 4 '16 at 21:36

1I am referring to the one where the coaching staff and substitutes sit. I don't know that stadium but in europe these are always along one side, usually either side of the tunnel the players emerge from. – razethestray Apr 4 '16 at 21:41

1Out of curiosity, why do you want to be facing them that bad? – Don_Biglia Apr 5 '16 at 6:42

Ehh I think it's an Argentine patriotic thing to be able to stand tall with you team and at least being able to see their faces haha – EconDude Apr 5 '16 at 6:53

Most of the time players will be facing the main stand.
I'm going with the smaller one of the two long sides as the main stand. But it's a guess!
Going on the image below you would have to buy tickets in one of the sections going from 131 till 145 (lower tier) or 232-246 (upper tier)

A good way to identify the main stand they will be facing is to look for the VIP seating / Royal Box / Press seating. They will be facing in that direction.
Mind, in some cases, if there are flags being raised or flown, some teams will turn to face in that direction.
