The arrival of Scottish football supporters, known as the Tartan Army, in the United States for the 2026 World Cup has led to significant business growth and cultural exchange in Boston and Miami.

被稱為「格子軍團」的蘇格蘭足球支持者為了 2026 年世界盃來到美國，在波士頓與邁阿密帶來了顯著的業務增長與文化交流。

The presence of Scottish fans in Boston caused a huge increase in demand for local hotels and bars. Establishments such as the Cask 'n Flagon and The Dubliner reported that they ran out of drinks, and some venues had to order emergency supplies to keep operating. This economic boost was accompanied by a positive social relationship; Mayor Michelle Wu's administration expressed interest in creating a sister-city partnership between Boston and Glasgow. Furthermore, the Boston Red Sox organization praised the supporters, who attended a game on June 14 and improved the stadium's atmosphere with their traditional clothes and music.

蘇格蘭球迷在波士頓的出現，導致當地酒店與酒吧的需求大幅增加。像是 Cask ''n Flagon 與 The Dubliner 等店家報告飲品已售罄，部分場域甚至必須緊急訂購物資才能維持運作。這次經濟刺激也伴隨著積極的社交關係；波士頓市長 Michelle Wu 的政府表示有興趣在波士頓與格拉斯哥之間建立姐妹城市夥伴關係。此外，波士頓紅襪隊組織讚揚了這些支持者，他們在 6 月 14 日觀看了一場比賽，並以傳統服飾與音樂提升了球場氣氛。

After the games in Boston, the fans moved to Miami for the match against Brazil. While the general welcome remained friendly, there was a difference in how local governments handled public order. In Boston, the fans' tradition of placing traffic cones on monuments was mostly accepted. However, the Miami Police Department was more strict and stopped supporters from placing cones on the Juan Ponce de León statue. Officer Michael Vega emphasized that these actions were necessary to ensure safety and prevent injuries. Despite this, the Tartan Army remained active, with about 8,000 fans attending a Miami Marlins game, which significantly increased the total attendance.

波士頓的賽事結束後，球迷前往邁阿密參加對陣巴西的比賽。雖然整體歡迎態度依然友善，但當地政府處理公共秩序的方式有所不同。在波士頓，球迷將交通錐放置在紀念碑上的傳統大多被接受。然而，邁阿密警察局則較為嚴格，阻止支持者將交通錐放置在 Juan Ponce de León 雕像上。警官 Michael Vega 強調，這些行動是為了確保安全並防止受傷而必要的。儘管如此，「格子軍團」依然活躍，約有 8,000 名球迷觀看了邁阿密馬林魚隊的比賽，顯著增加了總入場人數。

As the Scottish fans left Boston, the city began hosting supporters from England. While local leaders were confident that the city would remain welcoming, some observers noticed that Scottish fans were seen as 'underdogs' compared to the English. There were reports that The Dubliner closed temporarily when English fans arrived, although there is no official evidence that the business was discriminating against them.

隨著蘇格蘭球迷離開波士頓，該市開始接待來自英格蘭的支持者。雖然當地領導者確信該市將保持友善，但部分觀察者注意到，與英格蘭人相比，蘇格蘭球迷被視為「弱勢者」。有報導指出 The Dubliner 在英格蘭球迷到達時暫時關閉，儘管沒有官方證據證明該店對其採取歧視。

Scottish supporters have left a clear economic and cultural mark on both Boston and Miami, although the level of tolerance for their traditions differed between the two cities.

蘇格蘭支持者在波士頓與邁阿密都留下了清晰的經濟與文化印記，雖然兩座城市對其傳統的容忍程度有所不同。
