COLUMBUS, Ohio (Wednesday, March 29) -The Columbus Crew's famous Buck-A-Brat Nights will return to Crew Stadium for an eighth season and kick into high gear on Wednesday, June 21, when The Crew takes on the New England Revolution at 7:30 p.m.

All game long, and throughout the stadium, juicy, full-size bratwurst will be sold for just $1, as they have been for all regular-season Wednesday home games since Crew Stadium opened in 1999. Thanks to The Crew's new multi-year partnership, Bob Evans will present each Buck-A-Brat Night and provide tasty bratwurst for all Crew home games.

Additional Buck-A-Brat Nights for this season have been scheduled for Wednesday, July 19 vs. New York Red Bulls at 7:30 p.m., and on Wednesday, August 16, vs. Real Salt Lake at 7:30 p.m.

"Wednesday home games at Crew Stadium have become synonymous with Buck-a-Brat Nights," said Crew General Manager Mark McCullers. "We are extremely pleased to announce our new relationship with Bob Evans Farms, a great community partner and well-respected brand."

Over the first 23 events, involving every regular-season Wednesday home game since 1999 (plus one international match, two U.S. Open Cup matches and the 2002 U.S. Open Cup Final), an average of 13,160 juicy, full-size bratwursts have been sold for just $1 each.

"When two hometown favorites like The Crew and Bob Evans team up, it's sure to be a win-win for fans," said Roger Williams, Executive Vice President of Food Products, Bob Evans Farms Inc. "We're looking forward to serving our premium Bob Evans bratwurst as we cheer on America's Hardest Working Team. We encourage you to bring your entire family out to Crew Stadium for great on-field action and delicious brats."

Entering the 2006 season, the all-time Brats-Per-Person (BPP) Ratio is a staggering .942, meaning that 942 brats are consumed for every 1,000 people in attendance - or nearly one per person!

A total of 302,680 brats have been consumed in the seven-year Buck-A-Brat Night history.
