    I am soooo pumped that the U.S./Canada and Mexico will be hosting the 2026 World Cup.  
    Yeah, thats great news.  Should be game(s) in Toronto which is an hour away.  Will definitely attend (yes, I am aware of how much tickets will be).

    travel time is definitely going to be a concern.  I can't even imagine how much tickets are going to cost but I have to go to just one game!!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Hope there are some games at Audi (DC) or at the very least, Talen Energy (Phila).
    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25

    Went to 4 games in 94 at Giant's Stadium.  My old man had me on the phone pressing re-dial for tickets while I was sitting on the couch watching SportsCenter and what do you know, it went through.

    Italy-Ireland
    Ireland-Norway
    Italy-Norway
    Mexico-Bulgaria (a fairly historic game in the 2nd round)
    Had another game, it was a 5 game package, but sold them. Was really random teams.

    I don't think tickets will be as bad as a lot of people think for the opening round.  There are A LOT of games and the stadiums are big.

    Apparently the bid had Giants Stadium as the final venue and Atlanta and someone else as the semis. All subject to change.

    Have to figure. New York, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, LA, Houston or Dallas are all 100% definite.  Will probably be at least 1 more east coast venue.  Really hoping Philly gets some games, but I believe there are some issues with the size of the field.

    I'm guessing all the games will be in NFL stadiums.

    Pretty sure DC/Baltimore will be a lock. San Francisco too. Maybe Miami in the south? I would think something else in the Midwest too, maybe Nashville, or Columbus. Denver.

    The final is at giants stadium?!  That is only 45 minutes away from my house.  Man I have to start saving now to buy those tickets.

    Yeah, gotta figure it's between DC/Baltimore and Philly for another east coast spot.  Forgot San Fran.  Yeah, probably them too with the new stadium.  Tough to see Columbus with the shit show that is going on there with the Crew and I can't imagine they have a big enough venue.  I could see Nashville. Wonder if they'd have it in Denver with the elevation.

    Could college football stadiums be a possibility?  University of Michigan is 100k plus...

    Rose Bowl had the finals in 94.  Question would be suite capacity and alcohol policies, I would assume.

    That is what the bid had.  It is subject to change, but it is the initial plan.

    IMO, it will likely be:

    NYC/Meadowlands
    New LA Stadium
    Philly
    Atlanta
    Dallas
    Seattle
    * MAYBE Indy OR Minneapolis

    Up North, we will have Toronto of course
    Vancouver (or Edmonton)
    Olympic Stadium in Montreal

    I think they'll all get games.  3 cities each in Canada and Mexico and 17 cities in the U.S.  Field will be expanded to 48 teams by then so it will be more venues than usual.
