June 1 Chicago Machine Pro Lacrosse Game at Toyota Park
Chicago, IL – Bud Light, Chicago Machine pro lacrosse and Duffy’s Tavern & Grille are teaming up to take a bus of lacrosse fans – new and old – to the Sunday, June 1, 2008, Chicago Machine home game against the Washington (DC) Bayhawks. For just $25, fans of the fastest sport on two feet receive a bus ride to and from TOYOTA PARK, free draft Bud Light on the bus, a souvenir Bud Light cup, a souvenir Bud Light lacrosse t-shirt, a ticket to the game and a pass to the on-field VIP area – the “Bud Light Filling Station.”
“The opportunity to watch the game from the Bud Light Filling Station is the real prize here,” said Michael Culver, Chicago Machine Assistant General Manager. “With complimentary Bud Light and food, plus tables and seating literally feet from the edge of the playing field, fans in the Bud Light Filling Station feel like they’re right in the game.” Tickets that include access to the Filling Station are typically priced at $75.
“The cheering fans in the Bud Light Filling Station were a real boost to the players in last Sunday’s win over San Francisco,” said Chicago Machine Defenseman Jake Deane. “We love playing for the fans at home in Chicago.”
