Eau Claire, Wis.- The Eau Claire Express announced today the expanded partnership of Eau Claire Ale House and Rump’s Butcher Shoppe. Both local partners will be supplying food in private reserved group areas during the 2017 season at Carson Park.
The Rump’s Rooftop Bar-N-Grill formerly known as the 10th Inning Terrace is a private, elevated group area on the fan deck which accommodates group outings of 75-150+ people. The area features a bartender and exclusively Rump’s food on the deck. The menu will include Rump’s pulled pork, pulled chicken, hot dogs, and polish sausage. Fans reserving this private area also have access to the full fan deck buffet line. Unlimited water and soda are included, along with four domestic beers per ticket. The pricing for this area is $27/person.
The team has also partnered with Eau Claire Ale House as the sponsor for the Best Seats in the House section. This private group area is located behind the Express bullpen right next to the fan deck and accommodates groups of 10-20 people. Groups will be able to make food selections from a select Eau Claire Ale House menu and receive a server in the section. The menu is currently being finalized and will be released in early May. This area includes access to the full fan deck buffet line of food, unlimited water, soda, and 4 domestic beers per ticket. The pricing for this area is $35/person.
Express Director of Food and Beverage Chris Thompson is excited to have both of these sponsors on board stating “we’ve made a conscious push as an organization to expand our local selections at the park, particularly in the food and beverage department. Both of these businesses are locally owned and operated, so this aligns perfectly with that vision.”
