This was the correct call after Los Angeles was out of the running. Team USA will play exclusively on the west coast and will train in Atlanta. Mexico City will host the opening match as expected because of its status as a legendary soccer venue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh is it not like Olympics where they can include construction of new venues in the bid? This was for sure spoken about at the SLC City Council and I remember the drama over it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was for sure spoken about at the SLC City Council and I remember the drama over it You can but since the US already has all the infrastructure in place as far as stadiums go, no major city decided to construct a new venue specifically for the World Cup. It would’ve been be a huge gamble because the competition was fierce during the bidding process and being selected wasn’t a guarantee. SLC would’ve been one of the least likely cities chosen because of its size had they decided to construct a new larger stadium. Los Angeles was already in the process of constructing SoFi but the World Cup was not their priority. They basically built that thing because of the NFL and concerts. When they submitted their bid they included both the Rose Bowl and SoFi in their plan as possible venues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controversiaga 16,000 Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 MetLife stadium is in New Jersey. So I don’t even think it’s fair to say NYC is hosting them LOL Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t even think it’s fair to say NYC is hosting them LOL As far as the world is concerned, it’s NYC. They don’t give af that there’s a river in between Manhattan and MetLife. All of the events and most of the tourists will be staying in NYC and that’s what they’re gonna call it when they arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfAphrodite 1,838 Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 Bay Area is hosting 6 matches! It’s weird when all the branding shows San Francisco but the reality is that the venue is about an hour south near San Jose We are having the Super Bowl the same year should be a fun year!

This is an offense to us New Jersians. If CBS can label Foxborough as Boston then I can label East Rutherford as NYC. Besides, the tourists won’t know the difference. All the celebrations are gonna be in NYC anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
