  • Waiters and waitresses spent the game on their feet. They wish they could watch the game, but it doesn't always work out that way. Meghan Matthews serves up drinks to find out why. Video by kmtv.com

"Hi, my name is Meghan, I'm here to help you today, so you tell me what you need me to do. No problem I'm Lindsey, follow me."
 
Inside of DJ's Dugout on 10th Street...it is packed!
"Woohoo!"
 
Every table in the joint is elbow to elbow filled with fans from all over, you can barely more through the bar.
 
"You can ask nicely, but usually you gotta push."
 
Servers at DJ's are busier than ever. Waitress Lindsey Howell let me help with some of the craziness.
 
"Bud select for you sir?!"
 
And it is busy! Bobbing and weaving in between beers and bodies is a task, but...
 
"Look how good I'm doing, haha that's for you!."
 
"Lindsey what's it like working on a day like today? It's very hectic, it's hard to move around."
 
People are coming at you from every angle...
 
"Yeah, please and thank you."
 
When all you want to do, is watch the game.
 
"At the end of the game people ask me, oh you know what'd you think of this, and I honestly don't know. I have my head down doing this the entire time", says DJ's bartender Ross Coenen.
 
"I look up every once and while. Like I said earlier we were winning, and then I looked up about ten minutes later and we were losing", adds Howell.
 
But no matter what happens, you smile, keep the customer happy, and sneak a big cheer in, when you can!
