Fans heading to the World Cup in the U.S. are facing a new source of sticker shock: mass transit. In New Jersey and Massachusetts, some train fares tied to matches will cost fans far more than normal NFL gameday trips.
Putting any games at the Medowlands was just dumb as fuck. There are plenty of stadiums in urban centers which would have been great sites and already have lodging, dining, and entertainment infrastructure.

Absolutely, these are really dumb places to pick.
