Silo City and the City of Buffalo will scale up World Cup excitement with 5 unforgettable World Cup watch events projected onto the iconic 350 ft long x 120 ft high Marine A grain elevator, transforming the city’s historic waterfront silos into a larger-than-life global stadium.

To deepen the cultural experience, Silo City will partner with local businesses to offer curated food and beverage selections inspired by the teams playing each match, showcasing Buffalo’s diverse community and creating an immersive global event in Western New York.
