Matthew Kobach

@Jaredorkin @itshudsonblake I’ve never been to a conference with a more engaged audience

You wouldn't understand. Yesterday was unreal. More than 500 people showed up for our Mastermind event in New York, and l honestly had the time of my life. @itshudsonblake and I were beyond excited. Hosting this event was an incredible experience. We had the privilege of hearing from @GLavecchia99310, @GouldKR, @DannyYeung_, @loganchierotti, @itsmaureenkelly and Dom lacovone. They shared the kind of business insights you simply don't hear anywhere else. These are the lessons that only come from building exceptional companies from the ground up. I'm so grateful for this event, these people, and everything we shared together. Thank you to everyone who came, contributed, and made it unforgettable. Can’t wait to see you all at the next one.

@theisaacmed Nah

@mkobach I HAVE TO GO HOME MAN

FIFA final is in NYC tomorrow. No flights in or out of nyc currently due to storm. Mine just got canceled.

@nabrxiel They were the worst college football program of all time. And went 16-0. One of the most iconic college football TDs of all time.

@mkobach What exactly makes it so far ahead for you?

Yes. It’s not even close. And it’s embarrassing to even ask. And yes, I’m biased. But that doesn’t make me wrong.

@portobellhoe @RobHarris If the alternative is to delay it, not sure how that’s much better

@mkobach @RobHarris They can’t just move it???? Literally thousands of people have tickets and lodging in NJ/NY.

NEWS: White House officials will meet later today with FIFA President Gianni Infantino ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final to discuss the potential health dangers posed by wildfire smoke in the New York-New Jersey area

@BenTReynolds @RobHarris On my flight I saw an English guy with a black eye and sraped knuckles

@mkobach @RobHarris Lastly, part of my point is that the Argentines were (on average) awful. Basically locusts. Tough on any city. The English fans were very lowkey in comparison.

@BenTReynolds @RobHarris I mean, if you want me to agree that part of the reason the meadowlands sucks is cause there’s nothing around it, I agree

@mkobach @RobHarris Again, I agree Atlanta metro is plenty big, but due to the location of Mercedes, they were all in the downtown area, nobody in buckhead.

@constantg22 @RobHarris My point is the fans attending are screwed either way

@BenTReynolds @RobHarris They all went to the same bars. Atlanta is plenty big. You can’t help that they congregated.

@mkobach @RobHarris It wouldn’t, but ok. LA and NYC could much more easily absorb the throngs than Atlanta did. Especially considering the stadiums would be further away from downtown area. Atlanta is great, but man, the locals did not seem prepared.

@guhlo I assume they had the chance and declined

Looking back Vegas not hosting a World Cup game seems like a travesty

@BenTReynolds @RobHarris It would be like that in any city

@mkobach @RobHarris in Atlanta for the semis. The Argentines are basically locusts. Eating everything, crowding everyone out, being obnoxious. None of the restaurants seemed prepared for the influx. Ditto bars. Uber seemed broken the whole time (Lyft worked since the argentines don’t have that app)

@constantg22 @RobHarris What happens to the people if they have to delay the game 2-3 days?

@mkobach @RobHarris What will happen to those who already bought tickets and can’t travel to Atlanta or LA?

@Nietzsche4Lyfe @ChristieFL88 @RobHarris Tier 1 cities: New York City Los Angeles Chicago Tier 2 cities: Dallas Houston DC Philadelphia Atlanta Miami Boston San Francisco Seattle Tier 3 cities: Phoenix Detroit Minneapolis–St. Paul San Diego Denver Tampa Orlando Charlotte Nashville Austin Portland

@ChristieFL88 @mkobach @RobHarris Atlanta is like a fourth tier city in the United States. This is the World Cup. We’re not holding the final there

@Nietzsche4Lyfe @RobHarris What does that matter?

@mkobach @RobHarris Dawg it’s the WORLD cup. When people think of America they think of New York. How many foreigners have ever heard of Atlanta in their life

@Here_to_fren @RobHarris But the stadium and infrastructure are second to none

@mkobach @RobHarris Atlanta is a ghetto second rate city.

@JEWFR0 @jmartin1056 @kjeastman @RobHarris And have you traveled for a game there?

@mkobach @jmartin1056 @kjeastman @RobHarris As if Newark and jfk don’t have more flights to more locations internationally

@BenTReynolds @RobHarris How do you figure?

@mkobach @RobHarris Atlanta wasn’t ready for 1 game with Argentine fans. Can’t imagine they could handle another.

@SnoopahLoop @RobHarris I can live with Dallas

@mkobach @RobHarris It SHOULD have been in Dallas all along

@Nietzsche4Lyfe @RobHarris Have you been to a game in NY and a game in Atlanta?

@mkobach @RobHarris You can always figure out where someone’s from by whichever dumbass city they recommend in lieu of the most obvious ones
