World Cup watch party zone brings big crowds, business for restaurants

Local businesses in downtown Renton say that the FIFA World Cup watch party zone at Legacy Square has been bringing in big crowds and much-appreciated revenue for them. Restaurants along S. 3rd Street tell KOMO News that there have been great crowds gathered at the watch party area at the intersection of Logan Avenue S, for the Brazil and Morocco matchup on Saturday, as well as the U.S Men's National Team win over Paraguay, and Mexico vs. South Africa on the tournament's opening day. Legacy Square features a large screen, with a grassy seating area out front, along with a concrete soccer court with smaller goals, seating, and tables, as well as misting machines to help beat the heat. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ https://twitter.com/komonews http://instagram.com/komo4 https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
