BREMERTON, WA— The Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL) might be tucked away in the Northwest part of the country, out of the limelight, but when it comes to action and atmosphere, the indoor league holds its own. When it comes to getting close to the play and keeping your beer at your own table, there’s no seat in the USA like a seat in the Kingston Lumber Fan Deck at the Olympic Sports Center, home of the Olympic Force.

“What a great place to serve our $3 Force Pours during our games,” says Force General Manager Micah McMonagle. He’s right: the Kingston Lumber Fan Deck is right at the center circle, on the side of the pitch that features clear glass walls from the turf on up. The view is above the bleachers and with a wide vista of the entire match.

“After every season ends, we do a recap of what we did that was successful and what wasn’t. After the first season in the WISL, we felt that we should be doing better on our beer sales than we were and were trying to decide why that was,” McMonagle says. “We decided the main reason was that fans were forced to try to rush to get a drink in between quarters because they couldn’t see the field. So what if we raised the floor level 30 inches? We contacted Kingston Lumber and they donated the materials for the project and in 3 days of hard work, it was finished and ready for the fans.”

It’s prime indoor soccer real estate, but fans over the age of 21 can access it in Bremerton for just $7 per ticket for adults. (Other ticket prices are: $3 for 13-17 and free for kids 12 and under. Tickets are discounted for Seniors and valid Military ID to only $5.)

The Force kick off at 7:30 PM on Saturdays and have regular season matches November 18, December 9, January 20 and January 27.

“People love being able to get a drink and stay on the Fan Deck and watch the game as well as being able to walk around and mingle with other Force fans. It is a destination for fans during and after the games. They get there a little earlier than they did before to scope out their spots for the game and set up camp for the entire match.”

Just like a view of the Olympic Mountains, but with the sights and sounds of indoor soccer, and a perfect place to put your brew.
