Event Blazer game suite, sky box or viewing party ideas

[Orion Bailey]

Not sure I'd be game to go watch at a sports bar. I'd be in if it were a playoff game.

This place isnt just a sports bar though. They have corporate suites and all sorts of private sections. It's actually a Bowling alley.

I knw it isnt the most centrally located, but its classy like the blazers suite. My company had a party there once.

The Sunday Feb 28th game against Detroit starts at 3pm. We should find a park, get a TV and generator and BBQ the shit out of some meat!

Then get drunk and brawl.

and again...the number one rule of fight club is.....you NEVER talk about fight club!

 

[Orion Bailey]

I know its in Beaverton ( I live on the east side), but I just heard back from Big al's. They still have 3 private party banquet rooms that would be perfect for aprox. 30 people. They have buffets included in a lot price.
They have different options based on numbers of people.

How many people would be interested in doing this if I were to put it together? Obviously cost per person is a factor, but that's almost impossible to figure out until I get an estimated body count. They have smaller and larger rooms also, depending on who all would like to attend, but I started out with inquiring for aprox. 30 people.

Check the place out. Its pretty fancy...

Jfizzle. If you want, we could carpool or something, or for that matter all east siders can carpool. I'm sure we can figure something out regarding transportation, plus I'm looking at the Saturday game against Miami, so no rush hour traffic because of it being on a weeknight.

Find a park? Sly, come on, man. You're better than that. There's only ONE park where Blazers fanboys go to brawl!

Does one have to (as the url suggests) have to love bi-gals in order to participate?

If this is even a question, please check your man card at the door.

[Strenuus]

How about Big Al's?

http://www.ilovebigals.com/tv-schedule/beaverton-sports-bar-tv-schedule

I hate those places with a burning passion.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I hate those places with a burning passion.

I feel the same way about the vets.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

You should probably get that checked out.

I like this idea OB, and if SPD's data is correct, I think that's a pretty good deal. Do we need commitment from 30 people?

I get to keep the waitress.

The VM I got this morning( I havent had a chance to call back) Did not specify a min or max.

Sly, the lady who called me said there were menu options with different themes, so to speak. DO you know what the free food for the $40 consists of? If its chips and hot dogs, maybe we want to up the price for a bit better menu option?
I know I plan on feasting myself... lol

here is where I got that from - http://www.ilovebigals.com/parties/skybox

And for $40 we only get one free beer. For food it says, "Your Choice of a Premium Buffet"

 

[Eastoff]

I'm not crazy on the idea, but I'd be down. I'm in Montavilla, so I'd jump on the east side carpool.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Sly's link says there is a minimum amount of people to get the eagle package at the skybox but it doesn't specify what that minimum is so you guys would need to find out. If it is 40 or more people then it doesn't sound doable for you all.

 

[BlazerWookee]

I'm In troutdale and hate going all the way out to Beaverton that's why I like Lloyd district, or even Clackamas, west Linn etc. It would be easier for everyone.

Speaking of that, what about lil Cooperstown in Oregon city or west Linn?

You know BBert and I are an hour south, right?

Will they let me sleep it off in a corner?

Would we be able to actually hear the tv, or would we be stuck listening to really loud, really shitty music?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Yeah but you guys have more than enough time to give each other handys. Troutdale to. Beavis town would barely get me warmed up.

 

[Strenuus]

If that's it, count me out. I hate places like that.

 

[Orion Bailey]

OKay... A private room with a min of 12 people (max is whatever we want) with a big screen tv and private bowling lanes for 2 hours, and buffet will start at $30 per person for 3 hours. There is a 20% gratuity added to the top. This does not include drinks.
I am waiting on an email that has the buffet options (varying prices)

This private area is called Slider alley. This is the same thing Ive been to. Its VERY cool. Lounge couches, tables, big screen tv, room to eat, plus 3-5 bowling lanes, completely private to us with walls on each side and everything.

some buffet packages come with a fun card that can be used for free games or drinks. As soon as I get that I will post it so we can figure this shit out. I think this will be really fun and affordable for everyone though.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Keep in mind we'd be in a bar inside a bar, essentially closed off from most of, if not all, the noise. I seem to remember when they did the Season Ticket Holder party there a few years back, they were using the skybox as sort of a break room for the players, staff, and big money sponsors. I snuck a peek a couple of times and it seemed to be quite insulated from the surrounding chaos.

Can we get it without the bowling lanes?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We would be in a skybox, my private waitress will make sure we can hear the game.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Okay, here are the options....

I think the $50 option is the best. That gives each person a $20 fun card that can be used for games OR drinks....

Im in it for $100 and if KJ is still in it for $100, that means that the price will be a little less than $50 per person, all depending on how many go.


Whos down???
Ill foot the reservation and bill and collect the night of.
There is a 30 day cancellation notice, so worst case we could cancel if the shit hits the fan or something. Otherwise im down for this. Anyone else? ONly need 12 technically.

Starting a new list.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Just remember that these places charge a gratuity for groups (looks like 20% for this place) which isn't a huge deal but something to be aware of. Have fun guys, wish I could make it but have to sit this one out.

 

[Orion Bailey]

The Season Schedule is almost out.

How many people would be interested in chipping in for a suite to a game this year?
Id like to get a prelim head count before spending too much time on this.

If you are interested, please note any potential restrictions you might have: I work evenings on Tuesday. Cant do Sundays, ETC.

Lat year when @SlyPokerDog was able to get us a suite, it was one of the highlights of the year for most of us members and I think we should try to make it a tradition. S2 gets a suite every year. That way some people who couldn't make it last year, can make this year.

If this is indeed something many people want to start doing, we can keep a running tally of who has gone when, so we make sure over time, everyone has an opportunity.

It's on my list of things to talk to the Blazers about.
