[FSPA] New Pinball Location (Baltimore)

Wed Nov 1 11:59:49 EDT 2017

It wouldn't be a bad spot for a pop up arcade for a couple months.  That's what I was thinking when they reached back out to me after I pulled out the first time.  But again, you have permits, you have games that have to go up and down steps.

I think people are reading too much into the non fspa sanctioned stuff.  They just don't have the time to be a part of it, or they want to do their own thing.  Simple as that.

Licenses kill it (230 per machine per year, plus tax), and they only want the games from the end of Ravens season to when the OS start, then they have to be pulled out.  So two months.

I thought I would message the main list to see if there was anyone interested in operating pinball machines there.  This would be a new pinball location at a well-established venue.
