Talk about a list. The USSF has releases a list of 70 stadiums that could be potentially used for a World Cup venue in either 2018 or 2022. Some are more than likely going to be used as they were used back in 1994 while some new stadiums mark the list that could make for an interesting location.
Some stadiums may surprise you like Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor or other random college venues like that.
Below is the full list from the USSF. I marked in bold which ones I believe could be in the final 20 or so that the USSF will be picking from for their bids. They have some serious contenders here for venues, plenty of good venues that will blow away the 1994 list.
