what time would the games have to be to cater to the huge time difference

probably early morning and afternoon games would make sense so the people overseas can catch it at nighttime

I don't see how this is bad. If we get the bid, the Semi's and onwards will be in the US.

 

[vtotheinay]

why are you shaking your head? we'd be getting 75% of the games

Final in the Mercedez Benz stadium

I feel like they'd wanna do the final in jerry world (cowboys stadium)

 

[rck3sactown]

the games should spread evenly amongst the 3 nations IMO

At first glance Mexico deserves more games but I'd be surprised if their federation and federal government wanted any more.

Hosting World Cup games is otherworldly expensive. If you tell Mexico and Canada they have to cover a third of expenses they probably pull out.

I just want some WC matches in Miami or NYC. I think it's possible

Yeah I could see that as well, but I'm gona be biased and want it to be at the Rose Bowl and since you can fit nearly 100 thousand people in that stadium. Record is like 105k+ i believe. No way I'd miss that if it so

 

[Armada]

Rose Bowl or The Big House would be dope venues for a final tbh.

I think it'll be at the new LA stadium tbh

I forgot who played in the big house for a friendly but that match beat the record in attendance I think.

 

[Black Lotus]

both those stadiums will be close to me regardless

Something insane like 110K.

Let's be real, WC Final would either be in LA or NYC (East Rutherford, NJ).

Hard Rock Stadium will def get matches.

Audi Field will get a game. Plus let's have the final in the nation's capital.

No and no.

"We're more worried about the wave than we are the game"

Social media at its finest

 

[northoaklandfc]

Don't forget we're talking about a 48 team tournament in 2026.

Audi Field will be perfect for hosting Azerbaijan vs. Honduras.

 

[Trey Bantz]

Nah man, FIFA won't limit themselves like that.

They'd rather play matches in 75% empty stadiums than play in a 20K seater. Do you remember how empty some of the stadiums were in the fake Copa America?
