Columbus stadium would be a great location. But I'm betting they want it in stadiums like MetLife, AT&T, and Levi stadiums. High capacity stadiums basically.

Seattle, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Foxborough, Detroit, St.Louis, Indianapolis, Glendale, Washington DC.

Seattle has virtually no connection to soccer whatsoever. Definitely not Seattle.

I don't understand what you mean that Seattle has no connection to soccer.

Canada can host them. They dont need to build any stadiums. FIFA can use the Canadien Football stadiums. Plus it will be cool in the summers for the most part.

And last time 9 US cities across the country hosted matches. Dunno why people are posting like 3 cities. The point is to spread world cup fever to as many areas as possible, not just codify the egos of cities we think are 'deserving'

Ijs.

No, I don't agree with you 100%. Especially for a money making and tourist venture like this. Usually you'd want to host things in your largest cities. After this, what else is left? Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Diego. I'm pretty sure NYC as America's largest city and DC as the capital would be included no matter what.
Seattle right now is the soccer capital of the US. And I'm talking domestic fans not transplants.

Apparently a sold out C-link field of 67,000 people on Sunday means no connection. I think they are mad the sounders have a bigger fan base then there NFL team.
