Staff told the advisory board they are in early planning stages to host a World Cup watch party and related events at Jesse James Park on June 19 if approved. The item is at preliminary planning; staff said they are coordinating with a community group and expect to be part of a city‑level planning effort.
If the event becomes an "official watch party," staff said it will incur licensing fees and for daytime matches the city may need to rent a screen. The parks team said they will continue to coordinate internally and with community partners as the draw and match schedule becomes clear.
