If you’ve been reading my blog the past couple of months, you may have seen me mention that a very cool Grizzlies promotion for Downtowners has been in the works. Yesterday I got the green light to announce it.
The Wednesday, November 10 game with the Dallas Mavericks will be Downtown Night with the Grizzlies. For $50, you will get a $99 club level seat for the game. Furthermore, from 6 to 7:30 PM, we will have our own room (pictured below) in the elegant Opus restaurant in the club level. Downtowners will be able to mingle, enjoy food and beverages, and meet the Grizz girls, Grizz the mascot, and members of the basketball operations staff.
The private room looks like it holds about 100, but if we draw a bigger crowd than that, management has said they will shut down the entire Opus restaurant for us.

Here’s a PDF with more information.
This is an event that was planned in part by people who live Downtown. The Grizzlies contacted six of us back in August. They said they wanted to give Downtowners a space to mingle with their neighbors, and also show them a great time at a game. They sought our input on what would attract people who live here, and they incorporated our feedback to set up this event. I think it is a great value and hope to see a lot of my Downtown neighbors there.
For more information, you can contact Carl Rosen at crosen@grizzlies.com or 901-205-1445. You can also get more information from the Grizzlies staff at major Downtown events between now and the date of the game.
