There's already a Peg Leg Sullivan's a block from where I live. Plus it used to be a supporters' bar. Dunno if that would be an issue/source of confusion.
OK, I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but here goes... ...I don't think the stadium pub should be a pub per se. I know there's always a push by a great number of people on Big Soccer to make things British, but as the club is American, the foreign heritage is decidedly Eastern European, the current foreign contingent is decidely Caribbean, and we're still trying to court the Mexican fanbase, I would love the establishment to be more American sports bar with international flair than typical English Pub. That said, originally I was going to offer up "The Fire Hydrant", but the more I think of it, I think it might lend it self to visiting supporters pissing on it. So, I'm going back to the drawing board.
How about we just make it up like Peter Wilt's basement. Suspended ceiling, linoleum floors, vinyl bar with a laminated faux wood top, a mounted bass that sings when you pass by. Jeez, it's a frikkin' bar. You'll go there just the same. On second thought, I kinda like that theme--Peter Wilt's Basement.
That is kinda catchy. Make it look like an old basement. Gotta put a little baby pool in there too for the pool boys.
That's a good one, right up there with Cow and Lantern. Of course, if we want to cater to a different element, we could go old school and call it "The Injury Time Lounge."
Just throw out a few names Punters Red Room Fire Station aka "the Station"/ good name for the team store Section 12oz Harlems Way
"REDRUM" would kick mother ass as a name. No chance in hell though. SATAN! We could borrow from Mike Park and call it "Mayor Landek's Office".
With a jukebox with polka music! I like Landek's 'Office' (with a wink, said like 'Laser'). You can pay your bar tab with small unmarked bills in a plain envelop.
I'd rather call it Wilt's Basement. I know Bridgeview is paying for the thing and Landek has been fantastic but it should still scream Fire. Peter Wilt is Chicago Fire. Even his basement.
Peter's basement sounds a little too fanboy-ish. I mean, honestly - what if he got hit by a bus? some historical reference to the Great Fire or the club should suffice.
you know at this time last year we were talking about the mls cup. Man this is going to be a long off seaso if this is what we're talking about in November.
Then we could bury him in the Pub! But yeah, it should have a name associated with the actual event. or maybe work in the Ring of Fire angle and have a lot of design dedicated to the inductees.
I like to think that we too would have members of the Red Army to urge the tourists along the darkened hallway.
How about one of these: 1. "You're Fired!" (Have a beer with an ex-coach or player!) 2. "Fire in the Hole!" (Below ground smoking area with spiral red staircase down.) or, 3. "Fire Escape"(No, wait, too confusing.)
