    It really is going to be ridiculously hot.

    I think I read in one article, the bid proposal mentioned that the stadiums would be artificially cooled.

    Also, the stadiums are being built as temporary structures so that once the World Cup is over, they will be donated to third world countries to spread the joy of football, no doubt.

    Edit: OK, more detail than than news article I read when they won the bid:

    All of the stadiums will harness the power of the suns rays to provide a cool environment for players and fans by converting solar energy into electricity that will then be used to cool both fans and players.

    The upper tier of 9 of the stadiums will be removed after the tournament. When the tournament ends, the lower tiers of the stadiums will remain in Qatar. The upper tiers will be sent to developing nations, which often lack sufficient football infrastructure. Doha Port Stadium, will be completely modular, and will be deconstructed following the FIFA World Cup™.

    We see sending the stadiums to developing nations as an integral part of our bid, as doing so will allow for the further development of football on the global stage. Along with the stadiums, we plan to make the cooling technologies we have developed available to other countries in hot climates, so that they too can host major sporting events.

      And how would people standing outside of stadiums do?

      I guess they'd be all right so long as they don't drink booze, kiss, etc
