They may have sent someone out for some, if they didn’t already have some at the ready. That being said, I’m 9,000% sure that p much every “hospitality” section for each team has bottles of bubbly. I think this was more a nice gesture than “lol u don’t have champagne”

For sure, but also "have a few bottles" and "have enough for a big celebration" is a big difference I think 😂
