http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/soccer/story/1421353.html this article lists possible cities for the U.S. bid for the world cup. Houston is one of them.
why the hell are places like kansas city, baltimore, and nashville listed? i think it should be between dallas, houston, miami, l.a., or atlanta.
There will be 12 cities hosting games. It's basically a list of cities with somewhat new stadiums with large (60K+) capacities.
Did you read the article? Some of those are in there. Remember that the World Cup is an "entire nation" hosted event, not a one-city event like the Olympics. Why do you not want it to be in the cities you mentioned? I really believe that after Brazil, it should be in a continent other than America. It should be in Europe or even Asia again. Even Australia should be considered. I believe that it should give the United States more time to be prepared with better venues in 2022 and make the number seem something like play-on words like 2x11 on the field is 22... How about that?
The last time we hosted ('94) we only had 9 cities. LA, Detroit, San Francisco, New Jersey (NYC), Orlando, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, and DC.
yes i read the article, thats how i knew cities like kansas city bmore and nashville were listed and thank you DrLudicrous. i wanted to know why there were so many cities listed, and you answered my question.
That was my first thought as well...very surprising. At the very least, Chicago would be a great city for visitors of the World Cup.
First no Olympics for Chicago. Now we're not even included in the list of cities for the US bid. Treated.
