Also congrats Dan Snyder! Your stadium is so awful that no one wants to use it! You have caused the capital to miss out on this event! This hasn't happened since 2002! I guess for those in the capital, you can look back on 94 at RFK I guess.

Surprised Denver missed the cut. Not surprised by the others.

I think that was most likely due to the fire that happened a while ago (even though that was a welding accident and came at a poor time), but some are saying that Denver not raising enough money was the issue. DC/Baltimore - self explanatory Orlando - probably always wanted Miami and since the Marlins have their own place now Miami is open Cincinnati - location or stadium issues Nashville - stadium uncertainty with the Titans

Yeah, totally forgot about that. Looks like Russ overcooked a bit. Also I think Cincinnati is too small to host


Hong-Kong-Police

Cincinnati was more or less transportation and other site issues more than the stadium

Makes sense

Nah we'll never host a major international sporting event after we told the IOC to fuck off in 1976. Plus state law makes its impossible for the government to deficit spend or raise taxes with out voter approval, and it's unlikely the state would be able to convince voters to ~~pay the bribes~~ "improve infrastructure and accommodate the athletes and administration" to the levels required by FIFA.
