next soccer question

[Back2Lawrence]

Does Los Angeles count as 1 or 2 host cities? I don't think that was clear.

SoFi has to host final I would imagine

That or MetLife.

Arrowhead is more central

[UnholyLivingDead]

Central region:

Kansas City
Dallas
Atlanta
Houston
Monterrey
Mexico City

Wouldn't be surprised if it's in Jerry World.

[Back2Lawrence]

So 11 US cities if Only Two Canadian?

Did they really need to put Mahomes in his full chiefs jersey for people to recognize him? lol.

Will he still be a chief in 2026? Wrong thread?

93% yes.

2 years ago I would have said 100%. Wrong thread, yes.

[UnholyLivingDead]

East region:

Toronto
Boston
Philadelphia
Miami
New York/New Jersey

[Back2Lawrence]

East Coast bias. Miami sucks for all sports. But great spot to go. And good population diversity.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Looks like they will bring in the stands a little. Heard that there would have to be some small tweaks to comply with FIFA rules.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Boston and Philly over Balty/DC. Ouch.

Interesting. The issue with US host cities is that the fields are too narrow already.

[Back2Lawrence]

Pulisic got Philly bid.

[Back2Lawrence]

Ok. Fucking cool. Assuming I still live here, I’m going to a game!

Fuck off

[NewtonHawk11]

Really surprised only 2 Canadian cities. Would have thought Miami would be a no and Edmonton would have been in.

And this is why!

Miami was a lock.

The Boston, NY, Philly thing did not make a ton of sense to me.

I might be ignorant on this, but downtown KC to Arrowhead seems way less a headache than going out to Gillette from Boston.

Gillette is 1,000,000 times worse from everything I’ve heard.
