Free sports watch parties are taking over Hudson Yards this summer
Big summer energy just hit Hudson Yards—literally. The 30-foot Big Screen is back, towering over the Public Square & Gardens for a season-long run of free sports watch parties. Whether you're into F1, footy or the U.S. Open, this is your chance to watch the world's biggest events in a setting that's all vibe, no cover.
Part of the Backyard at Hudson Yards programming, the Big Screen is showing a packed lineup through October. Upcoming highlights include Wimbledon (June 30–July 13), the MLB and WNBA All-Star Games (July 15 and 19), the U.S. Open (Aug. 24–Sept. 7), and the NFL Season Kickoff on Sept. 4. You'll also catch high-adrenaline events like the Tour de France, Rugby World Cups and multiple F1 Grand Prix races, including the Austin showdown on Oct. 19.
And if your preferred sport is 'watching sports while snacking,' you're in luck. The surrounding plaza hosts food trucks serving gelato (Sogno Toscano), caramelized boba tea (Xing Fu Tang) and Van Leeuwen ice cream. Wells Fargo customers can also get priority seating and access to special food truck perks by showing their debit card. (Pro tip: After the game or during halftime, stroll over to the new Sailor's Choice, a dockside seafood shack built around a classic gentleman's lobster boat.)
No need to squish into a dive bar or sweat it out at a rooftop when you can kick back on a lawn chair under the Vessel with the Hudson breeze in your hair. Arrive early—seating is first come, first served—and don't forget the sunscreen. This is outdoor viewing with all the drama of live sports and none of the elbowing for elbow room.

Gareth Bale consortium in bid to buy Cardiff
The 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was understood to be part of a consortium that had conversations regarding a takeover of Plymouth earlier this week, along with several other clubs, but it appears they have now turned their attention to south Wales. The Athletic reports that the consortium sent current Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan a letter of intent last month, which included financial figures, but it was rejected. Bale is seeking to be the latest big sporting name to be associated with an EFL club. His former Real team-mate Luka Modric became an investor in and co-owner of Championship side Swansea in April, while ex-NFL quarterback Tom Brady has a minority stake in Birmingham. Cardiff declined to comment on Friday night. Bale retired from football in January 2023 at the age of 33. He won five Champions League titles with Real and is the men's all-time record goalscorer for Wales with 41 in 111 caps. He was linked with an emotional move to Cardiff, his hometown club, after leaving Madrid in 2022 but instead joined MLS side LAFC. Bale featured for Wales at the 2022 World Cup – their first appearance at the global finals since 1958 – and at the Euros in 2016 and 2020. Cardiff were relegated to League One last season and appointed Brian Barry-Murphy as their new manager this week.

Erin Andrews gushes over Tom Brady workout pic that showed off his ripped physique
Tom Brady 's Fox Sports colleague Erin Andrews was left gushing over the NFL legend's latest snap. Brady may have hung his cleats up for a second and final time over two years ago but even at age 47, the former quarterback's physique is still in impeccable shape. Despite stepping back from the football field, the former New England Patriots star has continued to grind in the gym and recently showed off the rewards he has reaped. Earlier this week, the seven-time Super Bowl winner posted four photos to Instagram, giving fans a glimpse inside his workout regime - including one particularly eye-catching shirtless snap. Naturally, the post attracted thousands of likes and gushing praise from his adoring fans - including Andrews. The impressed sideline reporter was among the near 2,000 users who left a comment, highlighting one part of Brady's body in particular. 'Quadzannnnnnas,' the veteran reporter wrote, giving credit to Brady's leg muscles, which were on full display on the leg press. Brady has worked alongside Andrews over the past year as the former signal caller carried out his rookie season in broadcasting. He joined Andrews and the Fox crew for the first year of his $375million, 10-year deal as the network's lead NFL analyst last season. Andrews has been married to former NHL player Jarret Stoll, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, since 2017 and the couple share a son. Brady's post promoted NOBULL - the athletic shoe brand that he merged his health and apparel brands with in 2023. '@nobull shows up wherever life takes you. At home, on the road, at work, or halfway across the world, the mindset travels with you,' Brady said in the post's caption. 'I'm always amazed by what the human body can do, and I'll always be committed to moving with purpose, one day at a time. No shortcuts, no noise, just the work and the will to keep showing up. NOBULL. #LFG' Brady can also be seen in two of the photos using a leg press, which appears to be at a high weight with one of his faces being a little in agony. The seven-time Super Bowl winner completed the first year of his $375m, ten-year deal The commentator also posted a pair of photos of him more in the dark during his workout. In recent weeks, Brady has been traveling the globe with two of his kids , Vivian and Benjamin, as they are off from school. In an Instagram carousel post recapping the Japanese part of the vacation, Brady can be seen holding a samurai sword, watching some sumo wrestling and posing with his kids in several different settings. In one photo, Brady even showed off a cake with a Raiders logo on it presented to his family at a restaurant. 'Japan we love you! We had SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for your hospitality and beauty!,' he wrote on Instagram.
