New York City to hold free World Cup fan events in each borough
NEW YORK (AP) --- New York City will hold a series of free events for soccer
fans who hope to experience the excitement of the World Cup but can't the hefty
prices for tickets to the matches, officials announced Monday.
The events --- one in each of the city's five boroughs --- will include watch
parties for the matches and other festivities. They will be staged at
Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in
Queens, Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, a shopping center near Yankee Stadium
in the Bronx and a minor league baseball stadium in Staten Island.
A separate fan event planned for Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New
Jersey, where the New York Red Bulls play, will cost $10.
World Cup matches will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where just
getting to and from the matches on public transit could cost $150.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a noted soccer devotee, announced the free
events alongside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a fellow Democrat.
"Every fan should be able to watch the greatest tournament on earth without
dipping into their savings," Mamdani said.
Similar fan events are being planned for other U.S. host cities.
