A good metric here is MSL attendance.

In this case, it would be Atlanta and Seattle. (And Seattle is off to a rocky start!)

The International Champions Cup is about to kickoff this weekend and there is a lot of overlap between the venues for this tournament and the finalists for the world cup 2026.

It is sad that neither the Twin Cities nor Chicago are among the candidate cities.
