Heat doesn't stop crowds from packing FIFA Fan Fest to watch USMNT

As we mentioned, these sweltering conditions are forcing the city to take extra precautions. Changes have already been made at FIFA FanFest, although the heat didn't stop fans from coming out tonight to cheer on the U.S. in the World Cup. Well, Action News reporter Caroline Goggin is live there with more. On a steamy summer night, decked out in their red, white and blue, thousands packed London Hill to watch the U.S. men's national team. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It's electric. Everyone's building connections and they can bond over one team. This massive watch party happening at the start of a heat wave, set to bring triple-digit temps as we head into the holiday weekend. That means the water stations of FIFA FanFest will be a popular spot, as is right in front of these misters. I can tell I'm going to be using them a lot tonight, throughout the night. Some soccer fans, like Aiden Briggs, brought their own fans to watch tonight's match. This lovely guy coming in handy. I have an umbrella if we're out in the sun. A slight breeze on a night in the 90s doesn't do much to help. That's why Michael Delbane, the executive producer of the FanFest, says they have a safety plan in place. We've got extra water deliveries, extra ice deliveries, extra cooling fans. And medical tents in case anyone needs help. The heat has also forced them to change their hours for the festival. Later in the day, when the temperature is a little less, when the sun goes down, we'll open up. So Thursday, they're opening from 6 to 10, and Friday from 5 to 9. Sean Edwards says he won't miss a chance to be here, or be at the match in South Philly on Saturday. I'm definitely looking forward to the game on the 4th, too. I'm going to go to that one. That one's going to be just as hot as it is today, if not hotter. But I'm going to represent. You know, I'd love it for the city.
