Nah this will be the only semi affordable one on US soil in your lifetime. Trump is going to crash foreign interest in attending to such a degree I predict tickets to flood the market.

World Cup games in Foxborough on as sides reach deal

The Massachusetts town of Foxborough, the Kraft Group and host committee Boston Soccer 2026 have agreed to terms that will allow for the approval of a license necessary to play seven World Cup games at Gillette Stadium.

Kraft stepped up to cover the cost but this quote was very interesting.

The Kraft Group said in a statement that it was "committed to financially ensuring" that the town's security needs are met. It added that the World Cup games at Gillette Stadium won't be "revenue generating events," but instead would generate "a significant amount of tourism and visibility for the state."
