The most popular venue to watch the World Cup match between South Korea and Argentina early Thursday morning is the ESPN Zone @ LA Live (1011 S. Figueroa St, across from the Staples Center). The place will open as early 11:00 pm Wednesday night for a viewing party with a capacity of 1,000. No reservations. First come, first in.
How about in Koreatown itself? The place to be is the popular front lawn of Wilshire Park Place, also known as the Radio Korea building on account of the company’s big red-and-blue sign in front. This was where a huge crowd congregated last Saturday as well.
The game starts at 4:30 am, and there will be free shirts, thunderstix, glowsticks, water and pastries for those who attend.
Address: 3700 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010-2903
Between Oxford and Serrano, near the Wiltern Theater
