The relocation was a temporary containment tactic rather than a permanent ban on downtown gatherings. As reported by CBS News on Tuesday, July 7, the city resumed official public screenings at San Pedro Square once the volatile matchup had passed.
Subsequent fixtures, while heavily attended, drew more geographically balanced crowds that matched the plaza's physical capacity. Downtown San Jose continues to share tournament viewership with other prominent Northern California hubs, including San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza and PayPal Park, the home stadium of the San Jose Earthquakes.
For visitors traveling to San Pedro Square for future screenings, local authorities implemented adjusted crowd controls. Private security personnel now monitor plaza entry points during peak match windows, enacting brief rolling closures whenever the courtyard reaches maximum capacity.
