The Perot Museum of Nature and Science has opened “Soccer: More Than a Game<\/a>,” a 10,000-square-foot interactive exhibition timed to bracket the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The exhibit\u2019s timing is purposeful. AT&T Stadium in Arlington will host more matches than any other venue in the tournament.<\/p>\n

The exhibit was developed in collaboration with Mexico City’s Museo Interactivo de Econom\u00eda, and blends STEM education with hands-on soccer challenges across 20 engagement zones. Patrons and kids can roam a sprawling array of stations exploring everything from biomechanics to data analytics. “‘Soccer: More Than a Game’ captures the energy, creativity, and collaboration that define both science and sport,” said<\/a> Dr. Linda Silver, the museum’s Eugene McDermott CEO. The exhibition opened on March 7 and runs through September, encompassing the entire North Texas World Cup.<\/p>\n

AT&T Stadium, temporarily rebranded “Dallas Stadium” for FIFA, will host nine matches: five group-stage fixtures featuring<\/a> Argentina (twice), England, the Netherlands, Japan, and Croatia, plus two Round of 32 matches, a Round of 16, and a semifinal on July 14. “We are thrilled with the teams selected to play at Dallas Stadium in Arlington,” said<\/a> Monica Paul, president of the North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee. <\/p>\n

Exhibition tickets run $12 for adults and $10 for youth, separate from museum admission.
