    I'm sorry Berean Todd but in what way is reliant field better than the new Cowboys Stadium?! Have you not seen this stadium at all or are you just biased because you're from the Houston area? Reliant Stadium is a suitable stadium but the Dallas stadium is absolutely amazing! And Houston's MLS fansd may be better but this is the World Cup! I dobn't think there will be a problem getting the fams into the seats.

    58 of the 70 stadiums have expressed an interest in hosting games

    see the list here : http://ussoccer.com/articles/viewArticle.jsp_14155776.html


    Las Vegas has expressed an interest also. I didnt think they had a suitable stadium? Either way it better be indoor or the heat during july would literally kill the players. Plenty of hotel rooms though!!

    Allright! The Swamp in Gainesville is still in the mix! Argentina can stay at my house!

    (But seriously, that field is too narrow)

    Notre Dame is out. Bummer. They couldn't fit a soccer field in there anyways. Concrete stadiums won't be the place to go. Lucas Oil Stadium is still in there. It's one of the best NFL stadiums. Give them a chance over someone like Detroit or Cleveland or Columbus!

    Do you have some specific reasoning for that or do you just not like the Midwest?

    Oh wait, you're in Indy, that's why, you're biased.

    what about having WC venues in places where there are MLS teams?

    LA, chicago, seattle, utah?

    Ummm... aren't all of those places on the list?

    In fact, all American MLS cities are covered, not just the ones you mentioned.

    If you consider SF okay for SJ.
