You can spread it out, but maybe the semifinal and final needs to be in one area? For example Group matches and a 1/8th final match can be in Calgary and upto a 1/4 final in Vancouver but then the rest would have to be down East.

In 1994 Italy played a Wednesday semifinal in New York and then a Sunday final in LA.
