If you've played Big League Sports for long enough, you know the post-game experience has always been as legendary as the games themselves. In the past, Stamford was host to season long flip cup tournaments and White Plains had beer pong tournaments upstairs and cornhole tournaments taking over the sidewalk outside the bar. I remember the days when Niz would walk around the bar with a clipboard asking for pairs to sign up for beer pong or cornhole, and my flip cup champion medal is one of the one's I'm most proud of. The games may have ended on the field, but for a lot of superstars, the night was just getting started - myself included.
Then, things changed.
As bars began placing restrictions on the types of games BLS could host inside their establishments, it was time to rethink what the post-game experience could look like. And while we may have said goodbye to some of those classic tournaments, we definitely didn't say goodbye to the fun.
Instead, Big League pivoted - and the result has been a post-game lineup that is bigger, more varied, and gives players more ways to hang out, meet people, and get involved. BLS has hosted events such as Opening Night Parties, Ladies Nights, Game Nights, Trivia Nights, Bingo Nights, Karaoke, Nintendo Switch Nights, and, of course, the End-of-Season Championship Celebrations. And sometimes, there's no particular reason needed to celebrate. There are parties that invite all superstars from that current season, bringing everyone together for a chance to mingle outside of their normal league - including the yearly Halloween party, complete with a costume contest. (Check out videos below from a Thursday Giveaway Night and a Tuesday Trivia Night!)
Some events even come with a little extra incentive. Certain theme nights give players the opportunity to earn additional points that can carry over into upcoming on-field games, giving you another reason to get involved. Other nights offer raffles for swag, drinks, and free season giveaways!
Every theme night brings something a little different, but the goal is always the same: keep the fun going after the final horn. The post-game experience isn't just about the activity itself, it's about what happens around it. Your team just finished a game, and now you have the chance to actually hang out with the people you've been playing with - and against - all season. BLS post-game nights are one of the easiest ways to meet players from other teams. Someone you meet at trivia could end up on your team next season. The person you challenge to a game of UNO might become a new friend. Or you might simply find yourself sitting at the bar with a group of people you never would have met without BLS.
That's really what the post-game experience is all about: bringing people together.
Now We Want to Hear From You!
