Someone said it earlier but they completely overpriced this tournament and some of these games should absolutely not be in big stadiums. I've seen south American friendlies (Peru v.

Philly is like 1:40 from my house and I would totally ride down if I could get a decent seat for the 2 non-US games there, but with tickets in the $50 range for ****ty upper level end seats and knowing you're going to get raped for parking because it's a huge stadium it's going to keep me home.
I get that the stadiums need to be confirmed in advance (do they really though?) but they need to find a way to get these less attractive games in smaller stadiums. This is USA#1 we got plenty of stadiums to accomodate all sorts of different games
