Three titans. Half a continent. From the deafening roar of Kansas City to the tech-driven innovation of San Francisco, Group J is the tournament's most expansive logistical challenge.
Group J defines the American philosophy: Go big or go home.
This is the "Frontier Group." You will experience the extremes of the host nation here: the raw, passionate energy of the Midwest, the sheer opulence of Texas, and the sophisticated tech-hub of the West Coast.
Kansas City ✈️ Dallas ✈️ San Francisco
Forget the trains. This group spans 1,500 miles. You will need multi-city flight bookings and rental cars to conquer these three massive host regions.
Group J has the largest geographical footprint of any group. Public transit is limited in KC and Dallas, making rental cars an absolute necessity.
Both Arrowhead Stadium (KC) and AT&T Stadium (Dallas) are located far from their respective city centers. Ride-share prices will surge—renting is better.
Essential for KC and Dallas. Book SUVs with high-power AC.
$60-120 USD / DayBook as a single itinerary to save on baggage fees.
$400-700 TotalThe only reliable rail in the group. Connects SF to Levi's Stadium.
$10-20 USDThese cities are not driveable in a single day. You must fly to stay fresh for match days.

Group J requires a split approach. San Francisco is the budget killer, while Dallas and Kansas City offer sprawling options that require a car for access.

The Silicon Valley Secret
Estimates are per person for a 12-day trip covering 3 group matches. Higher than Group C due to required air travel and car rentals.
Shared Airbnbs, economy flights, grocery BBQ, rental car split 4 ways.
3-star hotels, direct flights, daily BBQ/dining, Cat 2 tickets, mid-size rental car.
Palo Alto/Uptown Dallas hotels, First Class jumps, VIP hospitality, luxury SUV rental.
Base in San Jose: Avoid the 1-hour commute and $400/night hotels in San Francisco. San Jose is closer to Levi's and more affordable.
Rental Car Pooling: In KC and Dallas, Uber prices will hit $100+ on match days. Split a rental car with other fans to save hundreds.
BBQ is the Budget King: You are in the BBQ capitals. Massive, high-quality meals in KC and Dallas are cheaper than a standard sit-down dinner in NYC.
Kansas City holds the Guinness World Record for crowd noise (142.2 decibels). It is deafening. If you have sensitive hearing, bring high-fidelity earplugs.
Levi's Stadium is in Santa Clara, 45 miles south of San Francisco. It can take 2 hours in traffic. Stay in San Jose or Palo Alto for match days.
Dallas will be 40°C (104°F) in July. AT&T Stadium is air-conditioned, but the walk from parking lots is brutal. Hydrate 24 hours before match day.
In KC, it's all about Burnt Ends. In Dallas, it's Brisket. Don't ask for sauce in Texas—the meat is supposed to speak for itself.
From the heartland roar to the Pacific coast innovation, Group J is a journey across the soul of America. Secure your logistics today.
