Is Labatt Blue Party Deck A Real Thing?
As many of you have probably read in Dickie Dunn’s articles, he tends to mention that of a “Labatt Blue Party Deck”. He refers to that as the spot right outside the doors where we congregate to drink some cold brews and freeze our asses off. It is sought to be a mythical spot that no one thought anything of until last night. A couple of league officials and members of the MNL press had a serious discussion about making the Labatt Blue Party Deck and real thing for Monday Night Lights.
Panty, J. Wright and I were discussing potential articles for the MNL news for the following morning when the discussion of Dickie Dunn’s Labatt Blue Party Deck was brought up. Panty’s eyes soon lit up as he gazed across the parking lot at the two “Prefabs” Hazel Park uses for hockey classes. **LIGHT BULB** What if we bought one of those and put it right next to the other ones and just had an actual Labatt blue Party Deck?! Panty, barely containing himself with excitement that is mythical wonderland could actually come true and be a real thing. Panty immediately contacted OFP realtor, Todd Otto about what it would cost to buy one for the league. “Well one like that could cost you about $50,000.” (Qtip, Panty, Busta, J.Wright and others look at him as if he is out of his mind) 50K!!!!! Qtip disagreed with his GM and states “No way, you could probably get one for less than 20K, easy. Maybe even $10,000.” (Panty’s eyes lit up even more with news he liked to hear)
Panty, willing to do anything to make this happen for the betterment of the league, texted OFP investor and Lawyer Troy Otto via text message asking if this is possible. Troy responds with a picture of a “for sale” prefab online for $9,000. (Panty shouts in joy while doing his best impression of Todd’s “OH BOYYY” quote”. This could really work, this could be a real thing. Panty’s mind was racing with ideas of how awsome this would be. Others chimed in with ideas as well. Some of the ideas were: calling food trucks to park next to it for food for after the game. Space heaters, red rubber mats leading to the rink, and futons were all in the design of making this happen. “Lets not get ahead of ourselves boys” Panty states knowing we need to get the prefab first before adding details.
“Troy just sent me a picture of a $9,000 one, where did you get such a high number?” asking Todd of his absurd estimation. “Well if you want plumbing for a hot tub, and to do the dishes, maybe have a big shower room for everyone. Granite counter tops, with all stainless steel appliances. We need an oven for Mrs. Busta’s cookies, and a bathroom for everyone. Not to mention the the leather couches, 70in 4k curved TVs. Maybe a stripper pole for Peso’s girls.” Todd explained. “Baby, Baby, Baby, we just need the structure. We just want a place we can stand/sit and talk with each other. We don’t need all the amenities you’re offering.”
Now that we know this is achievable for the league to invest in, we give you 4 seprate mock ups of what we could potentially look forward to with the future of MNL. This is not #FakeNews
Mock 1. A simple Prefab that is cost effective. around $9,000
Mock 2. A simple prefab with an upper deck balcony to look down upon our haters. Losing teams are not allowed on the VIP party deck. It will be more pricy to build the add on balcony but might be worth the extra space if we expand. $30,000
3. (My favorite) A simple prefab with glorious Neon Lights to put a stamp on our league and what we represent. It will cost a little more for the lights but would definitely be worth the purchase. $11,000
Mock 4. Different layout of the neon signs with an actual look at what it will look like come 2 am, Tuesday mornings. $11,000
