    NJ got the finals for the World Cup in '26 in part because people could take a train to other venues.

      That makes sense. New Jersey has a perfectly adequate rail network. It’s not amazing but it’s better than most places

        Yeah, but the real lynchpin is Acela. Two other venues for the game are Boston and Philadelphia. It is feasible to make NYC/NJ the base for the games while seeing games in three different cities.
