Red Soxs private suite tickets. What to expect

[DHogan]

The group of people that I work with. All 6 of us, won a prize in a contest that the company I work for had. Where one of us had to write a short story about how good we all work together to get things done on time and done right the first time in the shipping and receiving department. Our supervisor wrote the story, and the CEO would pick the winner. Which was our group. The winning group received one ticket each for the game on Sept. 13th in a private suite. I haven't been to a game in almost 20 years. And I don't follow sports. Yeah I know. Bad me. I was wondering what to expect as in food, extra goodies to take home etc ? I work for a large pharmaceutical company in Cambridge Mass. I've only been there just about 5 months. The first few weeks I was amazed every day how good they treat employees with benefits (pay, medical benefits etc.), and the working conditions. And how nice people are without being fake about it. Before this. I worked on a loading dock for an airfreight company where we got treated like crap and they wanted us to thank them for it. I only stayed there for the medical benefits. It's nice to work for a good company. Ok, I'm done blabbering. Thanks

Each company can stock their suite as they choose, but you can expect free food and drinks. I haven't seen any extra goodie bags or anything, but not positive none of them don't do that.

The fans in most suites are usually quieter and more subdued than fans in other parts of the park - partly because of the corporate environment, partly because some might be there for sports reasons and aren't sports fans, and maybe because some don't want to yell and interact with the game in front of higher-up bosses.

In all though, it's a great experience with a nice view, and you should enjoy!

Thanks Scott. I just keep saying to myself, wow what a great company I work for.

I've only went once with tickets from Digital Equiptment Corp (which became Compaq and then HP) and saw Clemens pitch for the Sox. That tells you how long ago it was. I'm a big Sox fan and had a ball. Food was great, and yes it was quieter and there were a number of people who weren't as in to the game as me an my co-workers were.

I am officially jealous. Have fun and tell us how it went!

Thank you for the information. I'm looking forward to the food. I haven't used the T (subway) too much. We are going to get the T at the Lechmere station, and hopefully the green line will take us there.

The Red Sox's lost again . But, being in the companies private suite was an amazing experience. The CEO introduced himself right off the bat, as well as did some of the senior directors and some of the other executives from the company. There were about 35 people all together in the suite. We were all in the K1 and K2 suite in the very upper level of the park at 3rd base. With outside seating. The food was amazing. From shrimp, lobster, serlion all kinds of vegetables and snacks and dips. They served beer, wine and sodas. The whole thing was top notch. The email that the company sent early Thursday listed everyone that was invited from the corporate lawyer to some distinguished scientists (I have no idea what that means) from the company. I sat with one of my co-workers who knew less about baseball that I did. It made it that much more fun. The ride on the T wasn't that bad to boot. The green line was a little confusing with the trollies being A-B-C and D lines. And to top off a great week, I won a company wide raffle for two tickets to the Patriots against the Miami Dolphins Dec. 30th. I'm not that lucky that it will be in a suite.
