EVERETT — Outdoor watch parties at Everett’s Box Car Park nearly doubled the attendance in one week, topping out at an estimated 10,900 last Thursday and Friday for the international matches between Mexico and South Korea on Thursday and the U.S. versus Australia Friday, according to The Port of Everett.
“We had just over 5,200 on Thursday and over 5,700 on Friday”, attending the Waterfront Watch Parties, Marina Manager, Kate Anderson tells EverettPost.com. “The energy was high on both days, especially with Team USA winning the match on Friday. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, too, on all four Watch Party days.”
Anderson previously reported that the Waterfront Watch Parties on June 11 and 12 gathered an estimated 6000 over two days at Box Car Park. The Mexico versus South Korea match garnered 5200 last Thursday. The U.S. against Australia’s ‘Socceroos’ tallied 5700 in the balmy mid-day sun Friday.
These are the only four watch parties that were scheduled at Everett’s Box Car Park. If other notable watch parties are coordinated in Everett for the United States’s final pool play game against Turkiye on Thursday, EverettPost.com will publish details on our site as they become available.
