No light rail to Arrowhead. Rent a car or use Uber β that's not changing for the World Cup. But this is the best tailgate city in America: the parking lot culture at Arrowhead is legendary, people set up full BBQ rigs 3 hours before kickoff, and every fan is welcome. Accept every invitation. The FIFA fan festival near the WWI Museum requires an advance digital pass (free, capped at 25,000) β get yours from FIFA.com early.
