Thousands of soccer fans filled AT&T Stadium Tuesday afternoon to watch the World Cup.

Do you have soccer fever? North Texans gathered around TVs Tuesday afternoon -- at work and in restaurants. But thousands of folks traveled to AT&T Stadium in Arlington to watch the game on a really big TV: the video boards, some of which measure 160 feet by 72 feet.
