In fact it has been suggested that more people will watch the games from the fan parks then will be inside. Ask your World Cup travel agent to supply you with the names and locations of the various fan parks. You will be pleased that you did. Enjoy the party, but don’t get too drunk as police will deny access to anyone showing drunken behavior outside the stadiums or fan parks.
