As the World Cup Final kicks off, I'm grateful for our partners at @visitPA, @FWC26Philly, @vstpgh, @ScrantonCityGov, and @cityreadingpa who made the World Cup accessible and brought people together at our three free FIFA Fan Zones across PA AND our FIFA Fan Fest in Philly — the only fan fest in the country that was free and open daily throughout the tournament.
I'm also grateful for our city public works teams, local law enforcement, and incredible volunteers whose work allowed folks from across PA and the WORLD to come together. And as of today, Philly's FIFA Fan Fest will have officially welcomed half a million fans to celebrate and experience the magic of the @FIFAWorldCup.
Sports have a unique power to bring us together across divides — and that’s exactly what we’ve seen here in Pennsylvania throughout this tournament.

What’s the US’s “fourth” city. NYC, LA, and Wilmington Delaware are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, or maybe Reading PA
