Lincoln Financial Field will host six men's World Cup matches this summer, with Brazil and France among the teams playing in Philadelphia.

I would love to see Sound Transit get a deal like this with Boeing or one of the local tech companies to offer free transit after matches:

That system, SEPTA, last week revealed that it would be keeping fares consistent with ordinary prices during the World Cup, meaning passengers will be asked to pay $2.90.

This will remain true for transit to the stadium. But now, The Athletic can reveal that those travelling via SEPTA will not be asked to pay at all when exiting Lincoln Financial Field after the six World Cup games at the venue, due to a partnership the host committee has made with Airbnb. Organizers say complimentary rides home from NRG Station will begin at half-time and continue for two hours following the end of each match.
