There were always pregame parties when Ken Kavanagh was AD, usually in a ballroom or meeting room at the team hotel. And even after Mike Cross took over, we had pregame parties several years in a row at Joe Buck's down the street from the Scottrade Center. But since Joe Buck's closed in 2015, I don't think we have had another pregame event, other than the send-off celebration in the team hotel, which only lasts a few minutes.
