Also, it's got the road capacity

* Hopefully, FIFA will insist on curtains to block that sun from those windows.
* Arlington has absolutely NO transit solutions whatsoever. Thus, getting to the game will also pose a challenge.
It's still a better venue than Levi's Bake and Burn Stadium in Santa Clara.

This is America. We don't take transit to stadiums.

FIFA is going to require it (in the form of chartered buses from fan zones). International visitors will need it.

Actual reason is because there's no suitable venue in the DMV and Baltimore's bid was weaker than Boston's.

the people who can afford to fly from abroad to the US and pay for tickets to a world cup match can afford to rent a car.
Also, can you have a tailgate party with a bus? End of discussion
