It’s time for another World Cup match in North Texas.
Follow along below for live updates from our crew in Arlington.
A trip to the concession stand at AT&T Stadium will be costly for those in attendance.
Fans of both nations escaped the heat and avoided steep prices for food and drinks by tailgating outside of the Walmart off East Randol Mill Road, across the street from Dallas Stadium.
A group of friends from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, traveled to watch their favorite Real Madrid icons Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham face off in today’s match. On their way to the stadium, a quick bathroom break at Walmart turned into a tailgate with Coors Light, BuzzBallz and McDonald’s.
The group crowded amongst dozens of fans in the shade to escape the North Texas heat.
