Columbus Crew SC News Release


COLUMBUS, Ohio (Tuesday, August 15) -The Columbus Crew's famous Bob Evans Buck-A-Brat Nights will wrap up their eighth season at Crew Stadium on Wednesday, August 16, at 7:30 p.m. when Columbus takes on Real Salt Lake.

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.

Over the first 26 events, involving every regular-season Wednesday home game since 1999 (plus two international matches, two U.S. Open Cup matches and the 2002 U.S. Open Cup Final), an average of 12,749 juicy, full-size bratwursts have been sold for just $1 each.

Through 26 Buck-A-Brat nights, the all-time Brats-Per-Person (BPP) Ratio is a staggering .943 meaning that 943 brats are consumed for every 1,000 people in attendance - or nearly one per person!

A total of 331,493 brats have been consumed in the seven-plus year Buck-A-Brat Night history.
