We also had a lot of walk-ins from people who didn&#8217;t have reservations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>For \u2060Argentine \u2060fan Santiago Meneses, travelling in \u2060a motorhome with \u200bfive friends was born as much out of necessity as adventure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Prices are incredibly high, both for tickets and \u200baccommodation,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In previous World \u2060Cups, the costs were at least 50% lower. We thought this was a good opportunity to cut costs and have a different kind of adventure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The campground has become a social hub where strangers share beers, compare itineraries and grill late into the evening before heading to matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;We get more culture than just staying in hotels because we meet \u2060so many nice people from the U.S. and around the world,&#8221; said German supporter Leroy \u2060Behrens, who is touring the southern United States with his father.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=381\">What to Know About the SAVE America Act<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The financial arithmetic is compelling. RV pitches cost roughly $57 to $76 per person per night, while hotel rooms around Arlington have climbed well into the hundreds of dollars during marquee fixtures, with rates surging even higher for the tournament&#8217;s latter stages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The campground&#8217;s location also helps fans avoid hefty post-match ride-share fares, with the stadium only a short drive away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Life on four wheels comes with compromises, however. Meneses joked that the communal bathrooms become crowded at peak times, while Behrens admitted squeezing three people into a camper in the Texas heat was \u2060hardly luxurious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Still, neither regretted their decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;We couldn&#8217;t miss Messi&#8217;s last World Cup, whatever the cost,&#8221; said Meneses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>For Behrens, however, the rising price of attending football&#8217;s biggest tournament reflects a broader trend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Football is for the fans and not for the rich people,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to see that most people can&#8217;t \u200bcome to the stadium because it&#8217;s too expensive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>(Additional reporting by Manuel Ausloos, writing by \u200bJulien Pretot in New York; Editing by Hugh Lawson)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=379\">3 States Set Ballots as GOP Takes Cues From Trump and Progressives Win Big in New York<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><b>Copyright 2026 Thomson Reuters<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US News is a recognized leader in college, grad school, hospital, mutual fund, and car rankings.
