Overview
- The six matches at Lincoln Financial Field, which ended Saturday, attracted about 409,894 fans and produced five straight sellouts with attendees from more than 190 countries.
- FIFA-released figures show heavy stadium spending over the six games, including roughly 290,000 beers, more than 55,000 hot dogs, about 46,000 soft pretzels, 37,000 servings of crab fries and 26,500 cheesesteaks.
- Organizers said roughly 20,000 pounds of unsold food are being donated to local charities through FIFA’s sustainability partners, including Musically Fed and foodrecovery.org, with beneficiaries such as Garden of Health and the Everywhere Project.
- The FIFA Fan Festival at Lemon Hill remains open through July 19 to keep public programming and visitor engagement going, though it closed early one day because of storms.
- Stadium operations required extensive work — grounds crews logged over 730 miles of mowing and about 1,900 volunteers from 90 countries supported the site — and venue teams have already begun converting the complex back for Eagles and NFL use.
