24 May World Cup Soccer coming to an alley near you!

The International Sustainability Institute has been recognized by many groups and news organizations over the past year for their work to green up and activate Seattle’s alleys (see here, here, here, here, and here). They’ve collaborated with Feet First to have multiple “Nord Alley” parties (I think they’re on #VII?) and have hosted a variety of art displays.

They’re taking it to a whole new level, however, with their decision to host free showings of the 2010 soccer world cup matches in their alley. Occidental Square Park has become the place to celebrate soccer due to the Sounders’ March to the Match, which happens up to 2 hours before game time and fills the park with  obnoxious green horns and the chants of thousands of fans.

According to their flyer, “this month-long series of screenings aims to bring together our own Sounders fans and devotees of the world’s favorite sport. Communities from across the globe will bring food carts and culture to Occidental Park.”

Because the games will be broadcast live, ISI has decided to show 1 game daily at 11:30am (as the other two are at 4:30am and 7:30am). If there is a game that you want to see in the 4:30am or 7:30am slot, however, they are open to either doing a showing at 7:30am (if you can organize a group large enough to make it worth it), or if there is enough demand, they will record a 4:30am/7″30am game that may be considered a “more important” game and will show it at the 11:30am slot.

Although these are FREE and open to the public, ISI is also inviting groups from the Greater Seattle Area to set up a specific game that they may want to come to. They are willing to help groups arrange:

  1. Special appearances by the Sounders
  2. Permits for an on-site vendor
  3. Permits for any on-site fundraising activites
  4. Booths hosted by your local business or community group

For more information on the showings or to sign your group up for a specific game showing, contact Nikki Somers at 381-1630 or email Nikki@ISISeattle.org or Mary Turla at mturla@hotmail.com. To see a flyer of the event, click here.
