The arrival of Scottish football supporters, known as the Tartan Army, in the United States for the 2026 World Cup has resulted in significant commercial activity and cultural exchange in the cities of Boston and Miami.

在 2026 年世界盃期間，被稱為「格子軍團」的蘇格蘭足球支持者來到美國，為波士頓與邁阿密兩市帶來了顯著的商業活動與文化交流。

The presence of Scottish nationals in Boston precipitated an unprecedented surge in hospitality sector demand. Local establishments, including the Cask 'n Flagon and The Dubliner, reported the depletion of beverage inventories, with some venues requiring emergency procurement to sustain operations. This economic influx was accompanied by a positive social rapport; the administration of Mayor Michelle Wu initiated a letter of intent to establish a sister-city relationship between Boston and Glasgow. Furthermore, the Boston Red Sox organization formally acknowledged the contribution of the supporters, who attended a regular-season game on June 14, thereby enhancing the stadium's atmosphere through traditional attire and music.

蘇格蘭國民在波士頓的出現，導致餐旅業需求出現前所未有的激增。當地店家，包括 Cask ''n Flagon 與 The Dubliner，皆報告飲品庫存耗盡，部分場域甚至需要緊急採購以維持營運。此次經濟湧入伴隨著正向的社會關係；市長 Michelle Wu 的政府啟動了一份意向書，旨在建立波士頓與格拉斯哥之間的姐妹城市關係。此外，波士頓紅襪隊組織正式認可了支持者的貢獻，他們於 6 月 14 日出席了一場例行賽，透過傳統服裝與音樂提升了球場的氣氛。

Following the conclusion of the Boston fixtures, the demographic shifted toward Miami for the match against Brazil. While the general reception remained hospitable, a divergence in municipal governance was observed regarding public order. In Boston, the tradition of placing traffic cones on monuments was largely tolerated. Conversely, the Miami Police Department adopted a more restrictive posture, intervening when supporters attempted to crown the Juan Ponce de León statue. Officer Michael Vega characterized these interventions as safety measures intended to prevent physical injury. Despite this, the Tartan Army maintained a high level of engagement, with approximately 8,000 supporters attending a Miami Marlins game at loanDepot Park, significantly increasing the event's attendance figures.

在波士頓賽事結束後，該群體轉向邁阿密參加對陣巴西的比賽。雖然整體接待依然親切，但在公共秩序方面，市政管理呈現出分歧。在波士頓，將交通錐放置在紀念碑上的傳統在很大程度上被容忍。相反地，邁阿密警察局採取了較為嚴格的姿態，在支持者試圖為 Juan Ponce de León 雕像加冕時介入。警員 Michael Vega 將這些介入定調為旨在防止身體受傷的安全措施。儘管如此，「格子軍團」仍維持高水平的參與，約 8,000 名支持者在 loanDepot Park 觀看了邁阿密馬林魚隊的比賽，顯著增加了該賽事的出席人數。

Concurrent with the Scottish departure from Boston, the city transitioned to hosting supporters from England. While stakeholders expressed confidence in the continued hospitality of the city, some observers noted a distinct difference in the perceived 'underdog' status of the Scottish fans compared to the English. Reports of a temporary closure at The Dubliner coincided with the arrival of English fans, although no formal evidence suggests a discriminatory policy against the latter group.

隨後蘇格蘭人離開波士頓，該市轉而接待來自英格蘭的支持者。雖然利益相關者對該市持續展現好客精神表示信心，但部分觀察者指出，與英格蘭球迷相比，蘇格蘭球迷被賦予了明顯的「弱勢者」地位。有報告稱 The Dubliner 在英格蘭球迷抵達時暫時關閉，儘管沒有正式證據顯示對後者採取歧視政策。

The Scottish supporters have left a measurable economic and cultural imprint on both Boston and Miami, though the level of municipal tolerance for their traditions varies by jurisdiction.

蘇格蘭支持者在波士頓與邁阿密均留下了可量化的經濟與文化印記，儘管各司法管轄區對其傳統的容忍程度有所不同。
