You can tell it’s a USSF/FIFA idea when it’s as bad as this. Because wow is this a bad one. Jerry World is in Arlington. 20-25 minutes away from Dallas with no transit options & little accommodations. NY is a bad idea also. There is no stadium in NYC & the one being built is only a 30k seater & not projected to be ready until after the WC. So the game would be in the Meadowlands. At least there are transit options though. They should look at Chicago or the Rose Bowl. If they want Texas, it should be at the Cotton Bowl or in Houston.

last time Jerry World hosted a major event - Super Bowl in 2011 it was a disaster. Too many things went wrong. They haven’t been able to win a bid since. Though, I’m sure they’ll eventually get another one. But, to me, the location sucks. Plus Texas heat and humidity in Dallas ugh.

To be fair an ice storm in Texas is going to throw off any event.

Atlanta had an ice storm and things were good cuz of location. I know cuz I was there. Just think Dallas the wrong choice. But money talks

Mexico City will host the opening match with Los Angeles and Toronto getting the other two hosts the following day.

Still assuming Dallas gets the final but that should be confirmed soon.

A bit of a surprise. New York (New Jersey) will host the final. Dallas gets the most matches though (9). Dallas and Atlanta get the semis.
