Seattle definitely should be a host city because of the summer weather. The west coast has much better weather, so LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Denver should be on the list too.
I would add Seattle, Denver and Atlanta to the original ones. Maybe swap out Orlando for Miami, Boston (Foxborough) for Philadelphia, and Detroit for Minneapolis, St. Louis or Columbus.
The problem is that's a Mexico game. The Mexican fans are crazy support active of there team and with large Mexican populations throughout the country sell out the G-Dome shouldn't be hard. No one knows if the Americans or another country will have the same consistent draw.
While it wasn't a World Cup match, I remember a few years ago when all the fans of the Mexican national team invaded the LA Coliseum (I think that's where it was at) and actually booed the US national anthem when it played. The US fans were definitely outnumbered in their own stadium.
I think Qatar will retain the 2022 World Cup. They are investing billions to prepare for it. Why do you think they will strip it of the World Cup?
Most of the USA is not soccer obsessed and wouldn't want the distraction of hosting a World Cup im. Seattle might be interested and LA but I doubt NYC or Chicago would even want it.
Not sure about that. Im sure any city would be interested holding a world cup match or any event that would attract visitors.
Why so many mentions of Miami? Miami will be unbearable in the summer. The weather will decide games instead of the players. The games should be in temperate summer weather as much as possible (West coast, New England) or indoors (Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, etc).

Atlanta wont be indoors no more in 2017, it will be an Indoor/Outdoor
A lot of people are showing how clueless they are about soccer. Someone posted that Seattle has no connection to soccer...I spat my drank out, that statement was so ridiculous. Then someone else saying that the US doesn't care about soccer. Y'all need to get out more; there were watch parties in almost every major city around the US for every USMNT game. Went to one in DT Orlando for the Portugal game that was at-capacity 1.5 hours before the game started.
Anyway, the U.S. already has a list of stadiums that it submitted and were approved:
- Rose Bowl
- LA Coliseum
- Cotton Bowl
- Fedex Field
- Cowboys Stadium
- MetLife Stadium
- Sun Life Stadium
- Reliant Stadium
- Arrowhead Stadium
- INVESCO Field at Mile High
- Raymond James Stadium
- Gillette Stadium
- Husky Stadium
- University of Phoenix
- Georgia Dome
- M&T Bank Stadium
- Lincoln Financial Field
- LP Field
- CenturyLink Field
- Qualcomm Stadium
- Lucas Oil Stadium
Therefore, the host cities would be:
- LA (2 stadiums)
- Dallas (2)
- DC
- NYC
- Miami
- Houston
- KC
- Denver
- Tampa
- Boston
- Seattle (2)
- Phoenix
- Atlanta
- Baltimore
- Philly
- Nashville
- San Diego
- Indianapolis
