Game Room Bar: Enjoy a game of foosball, tabletop games, or footie ball and go head-to-head with virtual Lionel Messi in ‘G-O-A-T.’ Just like H-O-R-S-E, players must replicate Lionel Messi’s iconic moves to earn bragging rights and a chance to snag superior prizes. Fans can also snap a pic with the official Michelob ULTRA Superior Player of the Match Trophy, awarded to the best player in every match.

Plus, on Thursday, July 10, the experiences levels up with a limited-edition Hypebeast x Michelob ULTRA jersey drop and live styling during the Pitchside Club’s Hypebeast Night. 

Broadcast Studios: Bar booths transform into broadcast studios designed for hosting live commentary, panels and podcasts, including two live watch-along shows with semifinals commentary and a celebrity-packed live show from renowned soccer podcast Men in Blazers, plus a Sports Legends panel with World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Alex Morgan, former MLS and U.S. Men’s National Team player Dax McCarty, and WNBA champion Sabrina Ionescu, top influencers and more.
