World Cup '94 surplus reaches $70 million
SINGAPORE (AP) -- The surplus from the 1994 World Cup has reached $70 million, U.S. Soccer Federation president Alan Rothenberg said Tuesday."We wanted to leave a legacy for the future," said Rothenberg, chairman of the U.S. organizers of the 1994 tournament.
While the 1994 Cup set attendance records with a total of 3.57 million spectators and an average crowd of 68,604, Rothenberg warned fans and officials not to expect similar crowds for this summer's tournament in France. For one thing, the stadiums in France are smaller.
"I think quite honestly, the French emphasis is not quite the same as the American," said Michel Platini, the former French World Cup star who now is president of the French World Cup organizers.
