Here in Kansas City, the city opened the doors for short term rentals and a lot of people registered their homes. But very few have been booked. I’ve seen people ask questions like “How can I get from the Airport to the game and back to the airport?” So many if they do come don’t plan on staying. It’s cheaper to fly down and see a game in Mexico than to stay here in Kansas City.
To be fair, the city itself hasn’t done much to encourage people to stick around. There’s lots of stuff to do here, especially if you’re just visiting, but I’ve not seen any real push to advertise anything
akshually… Ticket prices in Mexico are crazy. Football ⚽ is the #1 sport in Mexico so the demand is huge. My family is from Mexico and my uncle and cousin found it cheaper to go to Houston to watch some games than Monterrey. They got a 7-games package and 2 weeks of hotels for less than 3 games in Monterrey, not including hotels. Another cousin got tickets for a semi final in Dallas for the same price of a group phase game in Mexico

As someone not even remotely interested in soccer, I am even less interested in visiting Kansas City tbh.
Sorry, that was a bit mean. True, but mean.
It’s fair. We are not a tourist town. Not every place has to be.
Are you sure? One of my favorite blues songs heavily implies that its a place worth visiting.
It’s worth visiting. We’re just not a tourist town.
