Baltimore itself would be an absolute clusterfrick of a city to hold it in. Maybe all of MD could work. Have any other cities made bids yet?

It would only be one of ~11 sites in the US. Baltimore has already been part of the bidding alongside:

Boston
NY/NJ
Philly
DC
Orlando
Miami
Atlanta
Nashville
Kansas City
Dallas
Houston
Denver
LA
San Fran
Seattle

FIFA is just starting their in-person visits to each of the potential sites this month, with the final sites to be selected later this year.

I don’t hate indoor international games

The games at the Sapporo dome in 2002 had the most intense atmosphere

Would love to take a week off in '26 and just ride the trains to the best games if all 3 of them get bids

I don’t think Baltimore would be that good since DC also will most likely get some games

I think the 11 US Venues will be
LA
NY/NJ
DC
Dallas
Denver
Atlanta
Philly
Seattle
San Fran
Boston
Miami

That's kind of my plan. Go to various cities. Maybe try to catch 1 US games, but go after a lot of the easier to get tickets.

Honestly don't think BR would be a bad place for a team or two to set up camp. But of course half of them will set up shop in Tejas if I had to guess.

I once had a vivid dream of watching some random unnamed team play PSG in the superdome in a preseason friendly
