PORTLAND BUCKEYES SHOT GLASSES AND $2 SHOTS!!
Buy a Portland Buckeyes shot glass (while they last) for $5 and then buy a shot for $2 whenever the Game Watch Coordinator determines that we need a shot (i.e., touchdown, end of game). The Independent is working with us to come up with a list of different boozes for each game. Once the GWC yells “Buy A Shot” the servers will walk around and pour a shot for a $2 cash. Once you own a shot glass, bring it with you to future games. If you purchased a shot glass during our May Bar Crawl, bring it with you! Please drink responsibly and respect the decision of the Independent to end the program when they deem it necessary.
