The reason we're not hosting is because Rahm didn't want to jump through all of FIFAs hoops and the large financial burden FIFA demands.
Secondly, 16 of the 30 NFL stadiums are in the 60k range. The brand new SOFI Stadium is 70k. I really disagree with abandoning a perfectly fine Soldier Field to be able to fit an extra 10k fans per game. And they've pretty much already said whatever they build in Arlington Heights won't have a roof or be nearly as nice as SOFI.

No SF is a joke. SoFi is top class. And it can hold 100K people unlike SF that would never be able to do that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoFi_Stadium
Capacity
70,240 (expandable up to
100,240 for Super Bowl, ect, Summer Olympics, and other major events)
Here is another Stadium that is modern.

Capacity
100,000 (expandable to
138,084)
Retractable dome. Something that can be used all year long.

Should have left old SF as was for concerts and what not and built new outside of it instead.
