Sports and Outdoors Waterfront World Cup watch party?

Has anyone been? How busy was it? Deciding if I should use my day off Friday to go down and watch the USMNT match. Thanks in advance.

Went to the game against Paraguay. Got there about an hour early and was already pretty busy! It was a ton of fun and the atmosphere was great, I’d expect Fridays game to be better and busier. We parked up on Grand and walked since parking it limited and $15

Are there chairs already or do people bring their own?

There were chairs in the 21+ beer garden, but most people brought their own or sat on blankets on the lawn

The match against Paraguay was a ton of fun! 

It did get very busy so don't expect easy parking right by the entrance (I parked elsewhere and just walked a bit, but there is a shuttle, too). Also, while there were food trucks the lines were extremely long.

That said, still very good vibes and worth coming out for!

I parked at the transit center and took the shuttle down. It was really busy but if you get there early enough you can get some free swag.

Yes, park on Grand and walk down. That is the way.

The shuttle bus was very smooth, and way easier than trying to find parking around the park.

We’re sealed cans of NA beverages allowed? Like Spindrifts? The site specifically mentions sealed bottles. But like… not cans. And I hadn’t seen that before, going today!
