And I doubt that most, if any, college football stadiums would work. I doubt any of them have the amenities that FIFA would want and that NFL/MLS stadiums have.

Yeah. It will never happen. Just a red meat line for the base and for his anti-base to point out how dumb he is. He knows exactly what he's doing to stay in the conversation.

I could see one or two venues getting moved but most of them are going to end up in blue cities because that's where the facilities are.

Yeah but Trump doesn’t know that. He’s probably expecting an SEC/FIFA tour that swings from Gainesville to Starkville and up to Knoxville. Because if it’s one thing that southerners like, it’s international soccer.
 
During the Atlanta games I went to an Olympic soccer match (USA vs Argentina if I remember correctly) in Birmingham. Looks like it was held at Legion Field which has a capacity of over 80,000.


I was supposed to be one of the kids who held a big flag before the match but I would’ve had to be there by myself in the Alabama summer heat all day long at 7 years old so either I or my parents decided not to do that part.
 
Mark my words, he will take games out of one of the blue cities to "set an example".

My money would be on Chicago.

I don’t think OKC has a stadium that can host World Cup games.

No, there is no large American football stadium in the city.

If they wanted to do it in Norman the stadium would need a major renovation.

For starters, the stadium has an absurdly small sideline so I am not even sure a soccer field would fit and definitely not the FIFA mandated area outside the pitch.

Also most of the stadium is bench seating which doesn’t meet FIFA standards.
