Soccer fans who want to take in the action from the World Cup in a communal setting have a number of options, as we noted last week.
Add to the list the big screen at the plaza at Avenue East Cobb (4475 Roswell Road), which has released its initial schedule of World Cup matches through the weekend.
That includes the U.S. match against Paraguay on Friday night. The World Cup matches will be interspersed with airings of Atlanta Braves games.
Admission to the plaza is free, but spectators are not permitted to bring their own coolers, food and drink.
A couple more points to keep in mind, per Avenue management:
Screenings are free for all visitors & seating is open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis. Guests are encouraged to bring their tailgate chairs & blanket to watch the game. Showings are subject to be turned off during overlapping events and/or when The Plaza closes at 10PM.
Nearby restaurants will be offering some specials connected to the World Cup matches, which continue through July 19.
