In response to recent violence during World Cup celebrations, San Jose officials have relocated the watch parties for the upcoming Mexico-England and Brazil-Norway matches from San Pedro Square to larger, ticketed venues. This decision comes after chaotic scenes during previous gatherings, including stabbings and arrests in downtown San Jose. The mayor announced that new safety measures would be implemented to ensure the security of fans. Demand for the watch parties remains high, leading to quick sellouts of the newly arranged locations. While fans had previously flocked to San Pedro Square for the matches, concerns over safety have prompted city officials to rethink their plans.
