With eight scheduled matches, including a semifinal, Atlanta ranks seventh among U.S. host cities for projected beer revenue. The city's estimated beer sales could reach $8,726,111, driven by high attendance and lower concession prices. This revenue accounts for about 6.8% of the total expected across all U.S. host cities.
