‘“A year ago, we were pretty quiet with only about 3,000 fans next door. Now with having doors wide open and no regulations to follow, we are seeing more traffic,” Melissa Gromlovits, general manager of The Draft Room, said. “Fans here for the tailgate experience they get to sit with everybody if they didn’t get to go to the game. We’ve got the music going. We’ve got all the goal songs that they are playing across the street. We’re connected with them and blowing the horn. They get the drinks, the atmosphere and its the same as across the street.”’
