Norwegian supporters and Scotland’s Tartan Army are among groups drawing large crowds across the United States as the World Cup draws record participation across 16 venues. Multiple outlets describe fans taking over public areas in major cities, including Times Square and Boston, with match days developing into neighborhood events rather than staying confined to stadiums. The coverage highlights fans’ interest in local, everyday American experiences—such as visiting well-known city spots and sampling common attractions—while they follow games during the tournament. Rather than focusing on any single match, the reports emphasize the overall atmosphere of fandom, including the visible presence of traveling supporters in city streets and public squares. Both sources portray these street-level gatherings as part of a broader pattern of large-scale attendance and heightened public engagement during the tournament, with cities adapting to increased foot traffic and spectator activity on game days.
