Other changes needed, such as improved WiFi and upgraded luxury boxes, are included in the PBS master plan so didn't need new funding

The World Cup is scheduled for June 2026 so would not interfere with the NFL use.

Would be cool if Cincy could be one of the World Cup hosts.
Also hoping Nashville. New stadium for Nashville SC just got built earlier this year. It's the largest soccer-specific stadium in both the US and Canada now.
