During the last year, the United States Men’s National Team has played a slew of matches within the fifty states. Disregarding the Gold Cup, a competition in which U.S. Soccer had no say in stadium choice, the USMNT have played matches outside of the urban centers of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia and San Antonio. These cities, the seven most populated American cities, have long been deprived of competitive and important national soccer matches outside of regional tournaments like the Gold Cup and Copa America.
Throughout this cycle of World Cup qualifying, the USMNT has hosted six World Cup qualifiers, with two on the horizon.
