[FSPA] Future of Mighty Mike's League

[Roland Joyal]

The place is a brewery and they are open doing work on Mondays, but it is just the milling/brewing, etc.  They have a huge tasting area and several other big rooms, and a big food/drink menu.  The thing is the manager is on board for having the league there, and actually originally approached me for games to have a bit of a barcade to bring more food/beverage business, but apparantly his owner is not on board yet.  I did put a pinball and a multicade a couple months ago to test the waters, and they are doing OK for their limited hours, but convincing the owner is the tough part.  And the sad thing is the pinball area is so underutilized as it is an large overflow area and not well climate controlled, but liveable, so its not like they are giving up prime spot for tables.   -Roland

I don't think being closed on Monday is a sign of lacking business at all but, in many cases, a sign of smart management since Monday tends to be a slow day for many such establishments.

I've always liked Monday but Tuesday should be fine for me as well especially if we are going to be in the Ashburn area - that being said, if we are in Ashburn I'm open to any weekday evening except for Friday night but earlier in the week is better than later in general for me.

So I haven't seen any discussion on here so I thought I'd bring this up. Sounds like the Monday night league may be moving to Tuesday night next season if one of Roland's accounts let's him put his machines in there. That account isn't apparently open on Mondays. I realize some may find it premature to even bring it up while so much is in the air, but seeing as my dad and I can't make Tuesday night's, I was thinking better now than a couple of weeks before the next season starts. Maybe there are others who have scheduling conflicts? Also, if a place isn't doing enough business to be open on Mondays, are they at risk of closing as well? Obviously putting the machines anywhere for a season is preferable to nowhere, but I thought I'd at least start the discussion on day of the week. If a sizable number of people can't do Tuesdays then it would certainly be a waste of time and effort on Roland's part to put the machines somewhere that only a handful of players can play. I doubt there will be that many with problems but that's why I'm sending this out. 


That is all. Thanks.
