DALLAS \u2014 North Texas is getting ready to host another FIFA World Cup match.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, England takes on Croatia at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, but for the summer, it\u2019s called Dallas Stadium.<\/p>\n
Event organizers said some diehard fans show up early.<\/p>\n
The FIFA Fan Festival in Dallas occurs at the Pavilion at Fair Park. Doors officially open at 11 a.m. and close at midnight.<\/p>\n
If you couldn\u2019t get that pricey ticket to watch a World Cup game in person, organizers said this is the next best thing \u2014 a mega watch party with up to 35,000 of your closest friends. Plus, it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n
All you have to do if you want to attend with your fellow World Cup lovers is register through the official website.<\/p>\n
But organizers said a registered ticket doesn\u2019t guarantee entry once capacity has been reached.<\/p>\n
If you want to pay to elevate your FIFA Fan Festival experience, you can.<\/p>\n
The cost ranges from $50 to $250 for perks like premium entry lanes, preferred viewing, a lounge equipped with AC, a bar, light snacks, beverages and more.<\/p>\n
The England vs. Croatia game starts at 3 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over at NRG Stadium in Houston, Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal will take on the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DALLAS \u2014 North Texas is getting ready to host another FIFA World Cup match.
