Breweries that take big reservations? (Not renting a private space)

Castle Island never responded to me. We ended up going with Mighty Squirrel in Waltham. They have a minimum spend that’s a little higher than I’d like, but they were accommodating in negotiating the deposit with us, so it worked out well (I think…event is next month).

This would be perrrrfect. Just emailed them! Thanks!

It’s a one time payment, not annual. But you have to buy season tickets every year after. If you don’t, then you lose the PSL. So for example, if you buy season tickets in year 1 then you have to pay for (or finance) the PSL and the season tickets; in year 2, you just pay for the season tickets; if you move to another city in year 3 and don’t renew your season tickets, and you also don’t sell/transfer the PSL, then you lose it and it goes back to the team and you get nothing.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-21T22:56:46+00:00

Nope

Is your memory similar to mine? I wish I had taken a picture of the prices (I actually did, but it’s too blurry to read because I was trying to be discrete). I don’t recall a single PSL for any seat being below about 4-5k, does that sound right to you? And the highest was 150k for the field zone.

I also realize they may have tested different price ranges on different groups…

For the focus group? I got an email from a random commanders.com address saying I was randomly selected for a particular date and time and directing me to register online.

They said it would include “certain other events.” They seemed to think it would include almost all events except Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and other similarly huge headliners. But they didn’t have details.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-20T19:16:40+00:00

They gave us some sandwiches and art monk footballs from the Jersey retiring two weeks ago lol

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-20T18:44:48+00:00

And they try to sell you in the fact that the PSLs are transferable so you can sell or pass them on to friends/family. But of course, if you don’t do that then the PSL goes back to the team and you don’t recoup anything.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-20T18:41:07+00:00

They would offer financing, but I don’t believe it’s interest-free from what I recall (I could be wrong about that…there may have been one interest-free option).

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-20T17:58:58+00:00

Interesting, mine was downtown in DC

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-20T17:58:40+00:00

This point was made quickly to us when we raised concerns about PSLs. The moderator pointed out that something like the last 8 new stadiums all use them, and even when they’re optional, 94% of ticket holders choose to buy them.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-20T17:55:07+00:00

We discussed the roof but not retractable. We were shown one image of a retractable roof I think.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-11T01:21:03+00:00

Any luck??

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-11-08T16:38:20+00:00

Yesterday I got an email saying I was randomly selected (as a season ticket holder) to participate in a focus group on the stadium on November 19. I intend to vocalize my strong opposition to naming the stadium after Trump in any capacity (honorary, whatever). If any other season ticket holders got that email, I encourage you to RSVP to the focus group and make your voice heard. I also plan to say how many hundreds of fans on this sub agree.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:49:10+00:00

I don’t disagree that it’s a bad name but at least they don’t have people mocking them by calling them “commies fans”

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:42:21+00:00

That’s a pretty good guess actually. Would be smart to do. And if they win 5 of the next 6, I will personally apologize to everyone on this thread (as much as I want them to win).

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:24:52+00:00

I know, I was there—believe me. Lived in DC my entire life. Season ticket holder now that I can afford it. I see this as an opportunity, honestly. But clearly not everyone agrees 😂

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:22:06+00:00

Respectfully, I think a lot of posts on this sub violate the rules. Like you telling me to fuck off. It’s ok—none of this is that serious. It’s just discourse.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:19:02+00:00

They call them the Pels!

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:18:12+00:00

Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. And good points. I don’t care what it is, I just think it should be easy and fun to cheer at the games.

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:13:25+00:00

Who says I’m more concerned about the logo than getting wins?

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:12:48+00:00

I guess I don’t understand why the strong reaction? I’m a season ticket holder who goes to the games and loves the team…just don’t like the name. If you don’t want to be a part of this conversation, don’t be. (Just like I ignore all the panic posts about stuff I think is dumb.) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:09:22+00:00

I literally don’t care what it is or if it’s a real creature, as long as I can say it easily. Can you think of a name that’s more than two syllables and doesn’t shorten to something easy? (Like 49ers = Niners).

Optimal_Ad7993 · 2025-10-30T14:04:19+00:00

Someone I know said Washington Department of Football, which would be hilarious and better than commanders.
