    In the USA, more fans, better stadiums that when it was held in South American countries that have ugly and empty stadiums during Copa America games.

    Not a yes or no answer. Commercially yes but the tourney suffered having the likes of Haiti in the mix, and, let's face it, the 7-0 score sucked too.

    I still think we may see some form of the tournament in 2020. Univision is going to be hurting for international tournaments having only the rights to the Gold Cup. The 2020 might be way more of a molero though.

    No it wasn't. The travel and stadium sizes were way too big and tickets way too expensive. It could have been amazing but in their greed they facked everything up.

    IDK I thought it was a success apart from inviting the likes of Haiti and f*cking up national anthems (SMH). Bringing the tournament here exposes it to more people that wouldn't normally watch it. The money is obviously good.

    eh why not?

    Nothing will compare to traveling to different countries

    The USA is a cash grab and the atmosphere is not the same

    Nothing beats going to Montevideo on a Friday night or Buenos Aires or even in the Caribbean places like a joint bid to increase the sport there like a joint

    Puerto Rico and Dominican bid would be nice never will happen but we can dream

    This, all day, every day. Otherwise we're heading toward a world where all major sporting events may as well be held in Las Vegas. Yes, even whatever AFC's continental championship is.
    They're continental titles. They should be held on their respective continents. I understand money is cool, but cynicism shouldn't kill the beauty of these tournaments.

    To be completely honest, this tournament was much better than I'd expected.. the Chile match notwithstanding. However, not even half the country knew it was even going on. For a one-off, it was kinda cool. I hope it's a venue used sparingly, though.

    I know that it'll never happen, but I'd rather just see the Gold Cup cup dropped all together and have Copa America be the single tournament for the Americas every four years.
