Fan Zone Tips
01Centennial Olympic Park Fan Festival runs the FULL tournament (June 11 – July 19) — including all 8 Atlanta matches plus the Final broadcast. No advance pass required.
02For the Semifinal (Jul 15) and any USMNT-impacted match, the park will be packed by midday. Arrive 2+ hours early for prime spots near the LED wall.
03Park is shaded by trees but Atlanta heat (87-90°F + high humidity) is no joke. Hydrate constantly. Cooling stations expected on-site.
04Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer Atlanta — they pass quickly but can interrupt outdoor screenings. Indoor backup at adjacent CNN Center food court.
