I stumbled on a four year-old blog post about what city/stadium would be the best choice for an "American Wembley", our first-choice venue for the biggest national team games: Part 1, Part 2. The winner was...Pittsburgh! I always thought RFK would be a good candidate for this, but DC United's impending departure will kill that possibility. The argument the blogger makes for Pittsburgh is strong and the lack of a large local fanbase isn't as important now that so many people travel to the games.

This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen posted to this site.
