Foxborough was used for last World Cup in the US in ‘94 too …most fans will stay in Boston and make the trip out there just for the game

A bunch of the Stadiums being used are not in the cities listed as hosts cities …San Fran is another for example …hell the NYC games aren’t even in the same state

Are people not aware that the World Cup has already been here in the past?

Yeah, while I hate Gillette’s location myself, not sure why this sub is acting like all the tourists are going to stay in Foxborough. The vast majority of tourists will stay in Boston and will take the commuter rail and/or shuttle buses they will set up out to the games.

Also weird how some are acting like this is unique to Boston when almost every US venue for 2026 is located outside the city in a suburban area. It’s a US issue generally, not a Boston specific one.

I feel like /r/boston is specifically bad for this, people always act like anything wrong with Boston is only a problem in Boston. There are some problems that are more Boston specific, but certainly not this one or many others that come up on here. But you're right that complaining about stuff without really thinking about it is a reddit thing in general.
