Arch madness pregame party or rally!!

[carter]

I'm getting excited about playing on Friday for the first time in many years.Is there any word on pregame party or rally being arranged at all?

The hotel is the Embassy Suites, and the team send-off prior to games will be in the lobby of the hotel.
However, I do not know of any info about a pre-game party location.

In prior years, the announcements about the pre-game parties often weren't made until the week before Arch Madness...
simply because we never know what time or even what day we play and arrangements have to be made to reserve space or set up catering
- so they might have to know exactly what day & time our game is.


Here's a couple that were made on Feb. 28 or March 1, but BEWARE these are NOT from this year -

In 2013 the announcement for the pre-game party was not made until March 5th for a game that was played March 7.

There were always pregame parties when Ken Kavanagh was AD, usually in a ballroom or meeting room at the team hotel. And even after Mike Cross took over, we had pregame parties several years in a row at Joe Buck's down the street from the Scottrade Center. But since Joe Buck's closed in 2015, I don't think we have had another pregame event, other than the send-off celebration in the team hotel, which only lasts a few minutes.

I heard Ballpark Village a few weeks ago.
