Hello Seattle Gators:
Football season is rapidly approaching. I’d like to update you on our viewing locations.
Spitfire (Downtown Seattle)
Kelly Gordon has agreed to run the Spitfire location in 2010. We both met with Spitfire management to discuss the upcoming football season. We asked them for drink specials, and they have agreed to provide us with a rotating “Gator Drink” each week, as well as $1 kamikazes to enjoy at halftime! They will reserve the backroom for our games and will provide us with overflow viewing immediately outside that room. It is because of YOU that Spitfire enjoys hosting our club. Thank you for being such great Gators and coming out to view the games during these last few years!
We will be viewing our first game at Spitfire only. They will open at 8:30 AM for the
9 AM game against Miami (OH). Arrive before kickoff to get a chance to win a prize by guessing the halftime score. We will also have our *NEW DESIGN* Seattle Gator Club T-shirts on sale for $20.
If anyone is interested in helping Kelly and other officers run this venue, please contact us.
Sidelines (Eastside)
Our first viewing location was Sidelines, and they have been good to us over the years. However, the demographics of our club are rapidly changing, and the majority of our members now live in the downtown Seattle area. There has been a decline in attendance on the eastside over the past few years. Toward the end of last season, we only had about 15 people show up for each game, whereas the attendance at Spitfire ranges from 30 to 150 people. We have discovered that it takes 4 people to properly run a viewing location, and we presently have only enough volunteers to adequately staff one location. The board has therefore voted to concentrate on our Spitfire location. If we cannot find at least 4 volunteers for Sidelines, including one who will host, we regret to inform you that there will be no eastside viewing location this fall.
If you are interested in volunteering to host or help out at Sidelines, please contact us. If we cannot find adequate volunteers by August 21, we will close our Eastside viewing location, and Spitfire will be our only viewing location in 2010.
We look forward to seeing everyone on September 4th at Spitfire for our first game.
Go Gators!
Neil Hang
President, Seattle Gator Club
