Burgers, Brews and Brats
Before the game, John Sipe ’61 will host a casual cookout that includes burgers, brews and brats. He’s hosting a pregame social and bbq at his building and courtyard next door to CHS Stadium in downtown Saint Paul. The grilling team will be made up of members of the Class of 1961, aka The Legends of ’61!
Tickets are $30 a person and include dinner at John Sipe’s and game admission. A limited number of tickets are available. Reserve yours today!
