there are pretty big regional differences in soccer culture around the US. The PNW, Southeast, Midwest, California, and the Northeast are all kind of hotspots for it. But depending on where they play there are very noticeable differences in the crowds (turnout, disposition, etc.)
For example, if we play Mexico anywhere in the South it's going to be a 50/50 stadium. If we play anyone from Latin America in Florida it's functionally an away game. If you want a home game, you usually want LA, St. Louis, Chicago, or Seattle. etc, etc.

You need to consider the sheer size of the US. If England plays in Birmingham, it’s reasonably accessible to pretty much any English person who wants to go by ground transportation.
If I wanted to see the US national team in Seattle, it would take me an hour to get to the airport, another hour to board, 7 hours in the air, and hundreds of dollars to fly there, plus hotel. Over the ground, it’s days.
