Eau Claire, Wis. – The Express announced the new food partner for the 2018 season at the fan favorite private reserved group area, The Best Seats in the House. Coming from the same ownership group that brings us Wagner’s Lanes and the Complexx, the Express are excited to announce the 44 North Best Seats in the House.

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 an exclusive 44 North American Gastropub menu and receive a server in the section.  The menu is currently being finalized, but fans can expect to see classic Americana meals with a special twist.  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.

Coming in the Fall of 2018, 44 North will highlight a little slice of the country. With unique bar food from all across this great nation, 44 North will take you on a trip to satisfy everyone. The American Gastropub will be complete with two stories to choose from of great craft beers and food along with games and of course the best in sports viewing. Three amazing concepts all under one roof.
