In the U.S. soccer ecosystem, there are no shortage of cities claiming to be the "home" of the sport in this country. Portland dubs itself "Soccer City, U.S.A.," for starters. Washington, D.C., has held its share of memorable matches at the soon-to-be-demolished RFK Stadium, while fans in Seattle; Kansas City, Missouri; and elsewhere have done their bit to evolve the sport's fan culture.
Yet when one thinks of the spiritual home for the U.S. men's national team, it's hard to argue against Columbus, Ohio.
The USMNT has played a total of 12 matches in Ohio's capital city.
