FC Dallas General Manager Michael Hitchcock today announced that the team has formed a partnership with Lochrann's Irish Pub & Eatery in Frisco. The partnership will include post-game parties and away game viewing parties at the pub, and will also feature Lochrann's on the Stage, an in-stadium beer garden for all FCD home games, located on the Pizza Hut Park stage.
"We're very happy to announce our partnership with Lochrann's Irish Pub," said Hitchcock. "It's exciting that our fans will have the opportunity to enjoy post-game parties and watch all away games together at Lochrann's, as well as join us at Pizza Hut Park at Lochrann's on the Stage, which promises to be a great beer garden. We couldn't ask for a better pub partner who just happens to be a neighbor."
Beginning with FCD's season opener on March 30, Lochrann's on the Stage will feature a bar serving a selection of Irish beers and mixed drinks, and will be open to all ticket holders. Lochrann's will also host the official FCD post-game party following each home game, in addition to being the official FCD away-game viewing party location.
"We're excited to partner with FC Dallas and hopefully this will last many years," said Deina McNabb, co-owner of Lochrann's. "I think every pub would love to be in the backyard of a professional soccer stadium, which is why working with FC Dallas is a dream come-true. We're looking forward to the start of the season when we can start celebrating with the fans, both at Lochrann's and inside Pizza Hut Park."
Additionally, Lochrann's will host a season kickoff party during the week leading up to the team's season opener versus Chivas USA on Sunday, March 30 at Pizza Hut Park (2 p.m. CT). Details of the kickoff party will be posted on www.fcdallas.com soon.
Lochrann's is located at 6195 Main Street in Frisco, directly across the street from Pizza Hut Park's south gate entrance.
