There are very few cities he could move the games to that aren’t Democratic cities. Indianapolis, while mostly Democratic as a city, is surrounded by enough strong Republican areas that it would be fine according to him. Same story with places like Cincinnati, Nashville, Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh (but not Philly). They could all host some games at NFL stadiums and have enough hotels ready.
That said, I don’t really care if he moves games away from my city. I have no interest in WAY overpaying to go to a game where Cape Verde battles it out against Iran. I am definitely not paying literally thousands of dollars for a nosebleed seat to see England play Japan.
