It is a shame Saint Louis isn’t good enough for Inter Miami to play here.

I don't think anyone would compare Olympic soccer to World Cup soccer, if they do, its a disingenuous argument. That being said, acting like KC got a world cup game for a reason other than location and that there's an existing stadium, is off base.
KC got several World Cup games because Clark Hunt made it a priority to honor his late father.

Kansas City also has a suitable venue.

I met Mr. Hunt at Columbus Crew Stadium in 1999. True gentleman and shook my hand. Forever grateful that he got that stadium built. Saw many Crew matches, World Cup Qualifiers and Gold Cup pool play matches there. More importantly, the Crew graciously have hosted Ohio’s state championships there and at the newer Lower.com Field since 1998. Thank you, Mr. Hunt!
