JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It can be crazy, exhilarating, fun and a big money-maker for Jacksonville.

World Cup soccer could be coming to town.

The international sporting event that draws people from all over the world may end up playing its biggest game in Jacksonville if the vote goes the city's way.

City officials are on their way to New York City to try to sell the U.S. Soccer Federation on Jacksonville. They will give a special presentation Tuesday.

It would be a big dream for the city. Jacksonville is one of 27 cities across the country that could host one of more World Cup games in 2018 or 2022.

Why would they come here?

For one, Jacksonville Municipal Stadium is one of the biggest in the state and could hold more than 80,000 screaming, wild soccer fans.

But would that be the case in Jacksonville?

Many people might wonder if the Jaguars can't sell out an NFL game, how could the city sell out a soccer game?

"That's a good question, but I think you have to understand that each one of these teams brings with them an average of 20,000 fans each," said Michael Bouda, of the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission. "This is not NFL football. This is football worldwide, and that is huge."

Some people in Jacksonville said they would support the worldwide sporting event.

"As long as it makes Jacksonville some money, I think so," one local said. "I'll go see soccer."

Besides the stadium, the city said it has to plan a lot of events.

It was a big deal when Jacksonville hosted the Super Bowl in 2005, and city officials said that will be the selling point for the city.

The city would need to put on events like the Superfest and the spectacular fireworks show that were featured while the Super Bowl was in town.

"We have to have a fanfest set up for 30 days straight to have all of these fans to participate when there isn't a soccer match," Bouda said.
