Samuel Adams American Light Helps Fans Upgrade Their Beer and Lock In Their Seat for Tip-Off
Boston, MA, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Samuel Adams, America's #1 most trusted craft beer brand[1], commemorates the nationwide launch of its award-winning Samuel Adams American Light by putting an end to the disruptive behavior affecting gametime viewing enjoyment: seat jockeying.
According to a recent survey, over half of U.S. adults attend game-day viewing parties, and three-quarters of them battle for a good seat[2]. That's why Samuel Adams American Light has introduced a clever solution to put an end to all seat squabbles: The Spot Clock.
This March, basketball fans can forget calling 'fives' and start locking in their premium seats with The Spot Clock from American Light. Inspired by the shot clock, which times possession on the court, The Spot Clock times seat possession, giving fans up to two minutes to grab their next cold American Light without losing their spot.
'Basketball fans shouldn't have to risk losing their prime seat when getting up to score another round – just like they shouldn't have to sacrifice flavor and taste to enjoy a light beer,' said Lauren Price, head of brand, Samuel Adams. 'That's why we created The Spot Clock – so they can lock in their spot, enjoy an American Light, and let their only worry be a busted bracket.'
Distinctly American and awarded America's Most Premium Light Beer, this light craft lager is a crisp, refreshing, great-tasting, easy-to-drink beer perfect to upgrade everyday drinking occasions. With an ABV of 4.2% and just 115 calories, Samuel Adams American Light is made with 100% American ingredients sourced from independent local farmers, including barley from Montana and Hops from Washington State, and doesn't compromise on flavor.
Anyone 21+ who wants to lock in their seat can go to AmericanLightSeatSaver.com, start The Spot Clock and let their phone officially save their premium spot for up to two minutes while they grab another round. When they return, their seat is saved, and American Light is secured. If the clock runs out before they return, the seat is up for grabs. The Spot Clock can be restarted any time during the game – because a premium seat goes hand-in-hand with America's Most Premium Light Beer.
Samuel Adams American Light is available in 12 oz. six-packs, 12-packs, 24oz. cans, and on draft in select locations nationwide. Drinkers nationwide can find it in their area by visiting https://www.samueladams.com/find-a-sam.

Fritz into Stuttgart semis, Auger-Aliassime stops teenager Engel
US Tennis player Taylor Fritz in action against Hungarian tennis player Fucsovics during their men's singles round of 16 tennis match of the Stuugart Open tennis tournament. Marijan Murat/dpa Second seed Taylor Fritz reached the Stuttgart Open semi-finals on Friday, and so did Felix Auger-Aliassime by stopping German teenager Justin Engel. American Fritz broke Hungary's Marton Fucsovics once in each set and fired 14 aces en route to a 6-3, 6-4 quarter-final victory in 1 hour 15 minutes. Advertisement He next faces fourth seed Auger-Aliassime, who beat the 17-year-old Engel 7-6 (7-3), 6-3. The two traded breaks midway through the first set, and Canada's Auger-Aliassime then won the final three games for victory in 1:38 hours which he clinched with his 18th ace. Wildcard entry Engel, who is ranked 281st, was playing his first career quarter-final on the ATP Tour. At age 17 he was the youngest player in the last eight of a grass court tournament since Boris Becker's run to his first Wimbledon title 40 years ago in 1985. The other quarter-finals are German top seed Alexander Zverev v American Brandon Nakashima, and third seed Ben Shelton of the US v Czech player Jiri Lehecka. The Stuttgart Open are one of tune-up tournaments for Wimbledon, which starts on June 30.

Scheffler opens with birdie as US Open leader Spaun starts late
Five-time major winner Brooks Koepka of the United States opened with a bogey then followed with a birdie to start his second round at the US Open at Oakmont (Patrick Smith) Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler opened with a birdie while Spain's Jon Rahm began with a bogey in Friday's US Open second round with leader J.J. Spaun was set for an afternoon start. Spaun's four-under par 66 opening round on Thursday matched the lowest first-round score in a US Open at Oakmont and was only the eighth bogey-free first round ever conjured at the iconic layout. Advertisement The American's career-low major round put him one stroke ahead of South African Thriston Lawrence with five-time major winner Brooks Koepka and South Koreans Im Sung-jae and Kim Si-woo sharing third on 68. Spaun, Lawrence and Kim were set for late tee times while early starts were made by Koepka, Im and Rahm, a two-time major winner lurking three adrift after a 69 on Thursday. Koepka opened Friday with a bogey at the 10th hole, finding right rough and coming up short of the green then missing a 10-foot par putt, but answered with a birdie at 11, sinking an 11-foot putt to return to two-under. Im also stayed at two-under with a par on the first hole. Advertisement Rahm found a right fairway bunker off the first tee then left greenside rough and missed an 18-foot par putt, settling for bogey. Scheffler opened Friday off the back nine by sinking a birdie putt at 10 from just beyond 20 feet as he tried to rebound from an opening 73, his worst first-round score relative to par in 24 major starts. Scheffler has won three of his past four starts, including last month's PGA Championship, and hopes to become the first back-to-back major winner since Jordan Spieth in 2015. Other US stars struggled at Oakmont with third-ranked Xander Schauffele, the reigning British Open champion, on 72, defending champion Bryson DeChambeau on 73 and six-time major winner Phil Mickelson on 74. Advertisement England's Justin Rose was on 77 with Ireland's Shane Lowry on 79. World number two Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters in April to complete a career Grand Slam, was set for an afternoon tee time following an opening 74 including four bogeys and a double bogey in his final nine holes. The five-time major winner from Northern Ireland shared 62nd after round one, with only the top 60 and ties set to make the 36-hole cut. Only 10 players cracked 70 in the first round, but 11 of the past 12 US Open winners broke 70 in their first rounds. js/iwd

6 surging Rangers transfer headlines that go beyond Coady and Turgeman as £20m vision faces strict timeline
New Rangers boss Russell Martin is looking to add some new talent to the Ibrox dressing room before pre-season kicks off. That gives sporting director Kevin Thelwell until June 23 to snap up some new talent - with Conor Coady and Dor Turgerman on the agenda. Advertisement Negotiations have started with Leicester City over a potential deal to bring in experience Coady - while rising talent Turgerman has opened the door to a move by admitting he is ready to leave Maccabi Tel Aviv. READ MORE: Rangers transfer latest as Birmingham stance on Davies and Dowell revealed and Hagi told his 'last option' READ MORE: Joe Aribo makes transfer decision as Russell Martin holds 'trust' card amid Rangers return clamour But with the American revolution in full flow at Ibrox, CEO Patrick Stewart has promised Martin he'll be handed a significant chunk of the £20million set to be injected in the Premiership giants by their new owners.. Advertisement So, who else could be coming in? And who could be shown the door? Record Sport takes a look. Metinho Troyes' midfielder Metinho has caught Rangers' eye after a successful loan at FC Basel last term. But the Light Blues' face a battle to land the £5million-rated star as they prepare for his signature with the Swiss champions - who are looking to make the deal permanent despite not holding an option to buy. BaZ report it is "unclear" if Basel will be able to secure a return and meeting the valuation - leaving the door open for a move to Ibrox. Largie Ramazani Reports in Spain suggest Leeds United's Largie Ramazani is a target for the Light Blues' this summer - just a year on from his £10million move to Elland Road from Almeria. Advertisement And former Leeds' goalkeeper Paul Robinson has urged the club to cut their losses with the winger, telling MOT Leeds News: "He's struggled to get in the side this season and I think at times, to his detriment, he's been an impact player off the bench. And I think that's maybe how the manager sees him. "And if they can get better than what they've got, which is what they have to do to stay in the Premier League, he could be one that's allowed to leave. 'He had a little spell of games, didn't he, in the Championship, but didn't play regularly, week in and week out. And he may be one where Leeds need to cut their cloth accordingly. He may be one that's allowed to move on.' Cyriel Dessers The striker has already revealed he has interest from Greece this summer - but while on international duty he has set himself the goal of scoring more for Rangers. Cyriel Dessers When asked about his lack of recent caps for Nigeria, he said: 'I'm not the one making the choices. So, the only thing I can do is to perform well and score goals at my club … to ensure that I'm ready to be called up. Advertisement 'Once I'm called upon, I should be able to show what I can do for the team. That I would have to do with goals, hard work and dedication,' Nedim Bajrami Nedim Bajrami will hope to impress his new boss when he returns for pre-season - with Record Sport understanding the Albanian is keen to stay in Glasgow and fight for his place in the team. After a disappointing first season in Scotland, reports in Albania suggest that clubs in Germany and Italy are on alert for a potential deal. Harry Darling He has already been signed twice by Russell Martin at MK Dons and then for Swansea City - but Record Sport understands Rangers are currently not in the race for his signature as his contract ticks down. Advertisement Director of football Richard Montague says Swansea remains hopeful Harry Darling will sign a new deal with the club - despite reports that Norwich City are leading the race for the soon-to-be free agent. He told Wales Online: 'The ball is very much in Harry's court. "We made him what we thought was a very strong offer and I believe he would think is a very strong offer. Jamie Vardy It would be a landmark signing for the new owners - and Rangers are said to be among the club chasing Jamie Vardy after his Leicester City exit. The signing race for the 38-year-old appears to have lost a club - with Wrexham transfer consultant Les Reed telling the i: "Let's take an equivalent of Jamie Vardy. Advertisement "Everyone thinks he's out of contract, there's no transfer fee, Wrexham could do that. You're talking about players who are on £140,000 a week. "We are a million miles away from that. There is a certain level of Premier League player who, if they are on £100k to 150k-a-week, are still going to get closer to that if they move to the MLS or Saudi Arabia than if they go to Wrexham."
