Spain's in the final. Tickets start at $7,253 — or you could walk to Kern's.
The World Cup ends Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The cheapest seat in the building costs about as much as a used car. South Knoxville has a big screen and a shorter drive.

Spain punched its ticket Tuesday, beating France 2–0 in Dallas. Its opponent gets settled Wednesday afternoon, when England and Argentina meet in Atlanta. Whoever survives that plays Spain on Sunday at three, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for the whole thing.
If you'd like to be there in person, the door is open — it just costs $7,253 to walk through it. That's the starting price. Per seat. Before the flight.
Or: Kern's has been South Knoxville's World Cup headquarters since the group stage, running One Knox watch parties on the outdoor big screen match after match, and its tournament banner runs through Sunday — the final's date, exactly. What the food hall hasn't posted is a start time for the last one, so if you're planning around it, call ahead. One quirk on the schedule either way: Ella Pinchok is booked for a solo set from 1 to 4, which means the music and the 3 o'clock kickoff are going to have to work something out.
And the consolation game — France against whoever loses Wednesday — is Saturday at 5, which is also, conveniently, right before the silent disco a few steps away.
