During the hearing, representatives for Game On acknowledged the oversight, attributing the unauthorized event to the actions of the event staff who booked the party without consulting with Game On management or the Lion’s Group, which operates the establishment. They informed the board that multiple members of the event and management team had been disciplined and that new communication protocols with local colleges had been established to prevent future occurrences.

The Boston Police Department’s incident report was read into the record by Sergeant Detective William Gallagher, who conducted the premise inspection along with Detective Eddie Hernandez. They reported cooperative behavior from the venue’s staff during the inspection and noted that the event was immediately discontinued upon their notification.

The hearing included discussions about the management structure and reporting hierarchy within Game On and the Lion’s Group. It was revealed that the manager present on the night of the incident was new to his management role, and that there had been inconsistencies with the manager of record listed on the venue’s licenses, which the representatives stated would be addressed.

The Licensing Board took the matter under advisement and will issue a written decision. The hearing concluded with no further items on the agenda. Game On Fenway’s representatives expressed their apologies and assured that measures had been taken to prevent any future unauthorized events.
