SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes have teamed up with TCL, America's fastest growing TV brand and now, one of the founding partners for Avaya Stadium. As the cornerstone to the partnership, North America's largest outdoor bar will be known as the TCL 4K Bar and will feature the brand's 4K Roku TVs.

"Our stadium was built with the latest design and technology in mind, so we are proud to unveil the TCL 4K Bar showcasing their high quality 4K TVs," said Earthquakes President Dave Kaval.
