The World Games Opening Ceremony is Thursday night down at Protective Stadium. The Artist lineup includes Nelly, Alabama, Shelia E, and many more. The Gates open at 6:00 pm, with a pre-Ceremony beginning at 7:30 pm and The Official Opening Ceremony starting at 8:00 pm. Our advice is to ARRIVE EARLY. The city has been planning this event for 7 years and they have constructed The World Games Plaza outside of Protective Stadium. That includes a beautiful new walking area under the newly constructed interstates (it is better than it sounds). We also recommend parking and using The “Ride The Line” Public Transportation. Mostly new buses and it is FREE public transportation just for fans going to World Games events. To see a map, go to TWG2022.com 👈 WELCOME TO BIRMINGHAM and Enjoy your stay! – Jim Dunaway
