USA World Cup Bid Hosting Cities Down to 27 Posted: 20 Aug 2009 11:32 AM PDT Bidding to host a World Cup is about more than just the logo. It’s mostly about the cities and stadiums you have to offer. So while the various nations are bidding against each other to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, the cities within those nations are also competing to be part of the official bid. In the case of the United State’s 2018/2022 bid, the shortlist is now down to 27 cities. From those 27, a final 12 to 18 cities must eventually be selected. According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer (now online only!) the remaining 27 candidate cities (and stadiums) are: Atlanta, Georgia Georgia Dome 71,250 Baltimore, Maryland M & T Bank Stadium 71,008 Boston, Massachusets Gillette Stadium 71,693 Charlotte, North Carloina Bank of America Stadium 73,778 Chicago, Illinois Soldier Field 61,000 Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland Browns Stadium 72,000 Dallas, Texas Cotton Bowl 89,000 Dallas, Texas Cowboys Stadium 100,000 Denver, Colorado INVESCO Field 76,125 Detroit, Michigan Ford Field 67,188 Detroit, Michigan Michigan Stadium 108,000 Houston, Texas Reliant Stadium 71,500 Indianapolis, Indiana Lucas Oil Stadium 64,200 Jacksonville, Florida Jacksonville Municipal Stadium 82,000 Kansas City, Missouri Arrowhead Stadium 77,000 Los Angeles, California Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607 Los Angeles, California Rose Bowl 92,000+ Miami, Florida Land Shark Stadium 75,540 Nashville, Tennessee LP Field 69,143 New York/N.J. New Meadowlands Stadium 82,000 Oakland, California Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum 63,026 Orlando, Florida Florida Citrus Bowl 65,616 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Lincoln Financial Field 67,594 Phoenix/Glendale, Arizona University of Phoenix Stadium 71,000 San Diego, California Qualcomm Stadium 70,500 San Francisco, California Stanford Stadium 50,500 Seattle, Washington Qwest Field 67,000 Seattle, Washington Husky Stadium 72,500 St. Louis, Missouri Edward Jones Dome 67,268 Tampa, Florida Raymond James Stadium 65,856 Washington, D.C. RFK Stadium 45,600 Washington, D.C. FedExField 91,704 The odd thing about the US bid is that very few of these stadiums are actually used for the beautiful game (unless you call NFL the beautiful game that is). The progress of soccer specific stadia is obviously a positive for soccer in the US, but the downside is that not many of these structures meet the 40,000 minimum seat requirement for a World Cup destination. Not that this should be a problem. The atmosphere at FedExField for the recent Dc United vs Real Madrid friendly seemed lively enough. You could barely smell the gridiron. The only worrying thing is that leaving MLS stadia unused during the World Cup may tempt the powers that be into keeping the league running while the World Cup is going on. Stranger things have happened… The USA bid will narrow the above list down to 12 to 18 cities by May 2010. Any preference for which cities and stadia should or shouldn’t make the list?

World Cup 2018/2022 Bidding Nation Logos and Slogans Posted: 18 Aug 2009 08:57 AM PDT Bidding to host the World Cup is all about infrastructure. You need quality stadia, reliable public transport and an absolute boatload of available hotel rooms. But you also need a nice looking logo and a catchy slogan. So below are listed all the available logos and slogans for the various World Cup 2018/2022 bids. Australia 2018/2022 - “Come Play!” Belgium/Netherlands 2018/2022 - “Together for Great Goals” (Together in theory, but the fact that the Netherlands side of the logo dwarfs the Belgian side is surely a coded message.) England 2018/2022 - “…” Deliberately slogan free. Apparently the “Football’s Coming Home” slogan for the 2006 bid was considered arrogant, so this time they’re not risking anything. Qatar 2022 - “It’s Our Time” USA 2018/2022 - “The Game is in Us” (Despite furious Googling, I was unable to find logos for Japan, South Korea, Indonesia Mexico, Russia, or the joint bid from Spain & Portugal. So they must not want it as badly. If you spot any of these logois, please leave a link in the comments.) Please feel free to compare the above (official) slogans with those suggested by World Cup Blog readers. The main thing I’m noticing is that none of the above are particularly good. The USA bid looks like a nuersery/kindergarten logo, the England bid is just the word England badly shaped into a football, and Australia went with the rather unimaginative two kangaroos and a soccer ball. Only Qatar and Belgium/Netherlands get a passing grade. The only explanation I can think of is that if any of the above bids are successful, they’ll have to come up with a whole new logo for the actual tournament. Which might explain why Qatar and Belgium/Netherlands have put the effort in early. Hopefully the other bids are just keeping their graphic design powder dry. FIFA will announce the World Cup 2018 and 2022 hosts in December 2010.
