It would have been nice to keep things closer like Portland or Seattle, but I guess if you already have to take a multi-hour flight you might as well go for bigger places.

And the article points out that they're apparently going to move from East to West to minimize travel as the tournament progresses.

Definitely didn't expect them to stretch all the way to New York.  Figured they could mostly keep it in and around California and the Southwest.  I guess I'm going to need to go to an Olympic soccer game or 2!

All very recently built soccer specific stadiums. Good choices honestly, those are all premier MLS stadiums in places that won’t melt players cleats off with humidity in August. All in the 30k capacity range.
 

Providence Park in Portland would be fun but it’s on the opposite side of the age spectrum to these, same for SLC and Colorado’s stadiums. 
 

Disappointing that Boston’s new stadium will still be 4+ years from opening in 2028. We could have actually ended up hosting something Olympic related.
