Since the Welsh league was started in 1992/93, there has been one Welsh Cup final where the two teams were outside the top flight; the 1994/95 final which also happened to be the last year that Welsh teams in the English system were eligible for the cup.
Cardiff had been in the previous two finals since the League of Wales started, against top flight opposition, but on this day Wrexham beat Cardiff 2-0.

I like your thinking but that's incorrect. Wanderers were the first winners of the FA Challenge Cup but were never members of the FL and went bust in the 1880s.

I actually know this one but only because I was reading about it fairly recently while parousing the 'net. I held back to give everyone else a chance, partly because I can't be bothered researching the next question. 
I think there's a small chance that it's somewhere like Bradford before Bradford City were formed, or there are some other possibilities similar to that.
90% sure it's Accrington though.

It is Accrington FC. The founding members of the original 1888-89 Football League were:
Accrington
Aston Villa
Blackburn Rovers
Bolton Wanderers
Burnley
Derby County
Everton
Notts County
Preston North End
Stoke
West Bromwich Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers
The only one of those clubs no longer in existence is Accrington, who went bust in 1896 and never reformed. Accrington FC is not to be confused with Accrington Stanley, which was a completely separate club founded in 1891 whilst Accrington FC were still around.
The first Accrington Stanley even went bust itself in 1966. Two years after that, the current Accrington Stanley club was founded.

Giants Stadium is correct, near New York but actually somewhere in New Jersey.
The Rose Bowl in Pasadena is correct & was the closest to LA of all the stadia used.
Nothing in Denver.
There was a stadium used in Michigan but not the home of a college/university club.
No to Atlanta & Miami.

Detroit's Ford Field would be one then. I'd also hazard a guess that Chicago's Soldier Field was also present.
I feel fairly sure that stadiums in Dallas and Washington D.C. will have been in, maybe Phoenix too. But the names for them at the time escape me. What about San Francisco's Candlestick Park?
And since there's room for one more, how about Tampa?

This was before the MLS was started then. I would be lying if I even knew the MLS stadia; I think many of them are ground shares and not soccer-specific.
Just going off MLS teams who might have had a big stadium in the mid-90s.... Kansas City? There must have been one in Texas or New Mexico, too. Somewhere really hot. I've got that Ireland game in mind where John Aldridge and Jack Charlton are calling the match officials :censored:s. Houston, perhaps?
