I hope the city of Atlanta moves forward with this. This would be huge for the city.

If 12, it'll probably end up being:

Canada: Toronto

Mexico: Mexico City

United States: Atlanta, Boston (Foxboro), Chicago, Dallas (Arlington), Los Angeles, Miami, NY/NJ (Meadowlands), Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington D.C.

I dont think Boston or Philly will beat out Orlando. Just based on MLS and Soccer support in general. New Englands MLS games are pretty empty. New York & L A are sure shots.

My rationale for Philly is due to the U.S. celebrating our 250th birthday that year and I've seen talk of putting the WC final there on July 4th.

Maybe switch Boston or Miami for Orlando.
