Notes from today.....
KC Star: "KC is one of the smallest bidders"
FIFA: "KC has a stadium and a region that is crazy about the game. Looking at the past, not every World Cup is in a major city or capital. The World Cup is for everybody."
KC Star: "KC is a central location. What does that mean and is it important?
FIFA: "Match schedules for the World Cup are developed based on the geographic spread. A key area is team travel and quality of travel. By spreading games across the country, we can have clusters in different areas."
Name not Mentioned: " You told Parsons to "Be who you are"..... I missed the rest of the comment
FIFA Team: Hospitality and Football (soccer) in KC is great. Investment by the community is strong, especially grassroots efforts.
KC Star: Summarize Impact of WC on a City
FIFA: 1st its impact on the overall company. 1994 WC launched soccer in the US. City impact is based on how many people are touched and become consumers in football in the future (not just watch but coach, administer, play).
