World Cup Final Watch Party — The Regent Theater, DTLA

Ninety minutes. One screen. A theater full of strangers who are about to become the loudest room in Los Angeles. The Regent Theater in Downtown LA is hosting the World Cup Final watch party on July 19, and if you have spent the last month screaming at your television alone, this is the correction. The Regent is not a sports bar. It is a music venue with a sound system that was designed to make you feel a kick drum in your sternum — and on this day it will make you feel every tackle, every whistle, every moment where the entire room holds its breath at the same time. Doors open at 10 AM. Kickoff is noon Pacific. The venue is standing room, which means you will be on your feet for three hours and you will not notice until it is over. 448 South Main Street, Los Angeles. Get there early. Bring the friend who said they were not really into soccer three weeks ago and now has opinions about formations. This is the last watch party of the tournament. After this, the World Cup is over for four years. That is the urgency. That is the room.
