104,000 Show Up in Dallas for Free Messi Broadcast
Klyde Warren Park filled with fans on July 24 for a public screening tied to National Tequila Day drink specials across Texas.

A massive crowd gathered in Dallas this summer for a free public showing of Lionel Messi.
Organizers reported 104,000 people at Klyde Warren Park for the broadcast, turning the green space into a wall of spectators. The gathering took place July 24, a date that also carried another meaning for the city's hospitality trade.
July 24 is National Tequila Day, a commercial observance that prompted Texas restaurants to roll out limited drink options for the occasion. Mexican restaurants across the state mark the date regularly, and Dallas venues added new cocktail choices alongside the park event.
The park screening drew fans without an admission charge, and the attendance figure of 104,000 was reported for the gathering. Details on how the number was tallied, and on crowd control measures for an assembly of that size, were not part of the record reviewed for this article.
The event sits within a busy summer calendar in Dallas. City listings show programming at local venues from May 24 to 27 covering engineering challenges with flag poles and straw rockets, plus music-themed trivia, and restaurant guides for the season point to patio dining, Bastille Day menus, and new brunch service at a Dallas eatery.
Tequila promotions and the park screening both fell under the July 24 date. The park attendance figure stands at 104,000.
