There were only 3 non-sunbelt interior cities that submitted formal bids: Denver, KC, and Cincy.
Larger interior cities like Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, and St. Louis either didn't bid or withdraw their bids (as I mentioned above about Chicago).
FIFA probably thought that the interior of the nation should have at least one representarive city, though I don't know any of the specifics for why KC's bid won out over Denver and Cincy.
