The World Cup is a huge honor, for whatever countries are hosting it. After all, soccer is the most popular sport in the world. So, to have any games in your area is a big deal. It just so happens that several games will be played right here in the Lone Star State! Houston will be hosting seven games and Dallas (or Arlington, if you want to get technical) will be hosting nine games.

You Might Want to Check Ticket Prices Before You Get Too Excited

I know that there are some people that would say, "This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity! We'll pay whatever price!" If this is you, you might want to pump the brakes. They aren't playing around when it comes to ticket prices...

According to SeatGeek, the cheapest price to go see a match in Texas - per ticket - is $190. That price is to see Cape Verde take on Saudi Arabia at NRG Stadium in Houston. I should also mention that those are for tickets in the nosebleed section...From there, the prices only go higher.

My Plans for the World Cup

I must admit, I don't know the game of soccer like I do, say, basketball or baseball. I enjoy watching it. I have ever since I got the chance to see Nacogdoches-native Clint Dempsey play in the World Cup. But it's not going to break my heart to not go to a game in-person.

I have no problem with staying in Deep East Texas and watching the game from a distance. I won't have to deal with the crowds OR the prices...If you're going in-person, more power to you! Enjoy!
