I will as well. I'll most likely be early, and chill with the gameboy micro I recently picked up. GBA pokemon games for the win!

ikee91v3 · 11-16-2012, 04:39 PM

why is play time only 2 hours...this place is so close to me and i would love to check it ouy but 30 bucks for only 2 hours is just not a good enough deal to get my business

Evil Rocky · 11-16-2012, 05:34 PM

I think I have an idea. You have the blower all ready. As you go to pour the balls into the bin have the go over a grate. As the go over the grate how the blower going over them.

You should be able to do this with simple parts from the hardware store.

really nice place, tweaky!!!, just need longer hours and really need to be open for Sunday morning for winter only, i think if everyone talks to the owner he might think about it,

Spartan 03 · 11-17-2012, 10:42 AM

Yeah, you can plug for longer hours. I think we've gotten a lot of play time (when we aren't waiting for players) but have benefitted from really only having two lines. If we get three or four lines and one or two have to sit for a five or ten minute (2 fives) game, it could be more of an issue. Heck even giving us the flexibility to lengthen the session if more players show up (like if there are 14 or less, keep the two hours, 21 add an hour, 28 add two hours) something like that. Of course, then I have to listen to players ***** because we CAN extend the hours but we won't because we have X number of players there.

I don't think Westmont Yard is even open on Sundays.

That is actually a good idea. I've been trying to make it out on a Friday but haven't been able to with my schedule. Hopefully I can make it out one night to check out the field! I've been dying to...

hopefully when it starts snowing and getting colder outside it will pick up and then you can have extended hours,

We are open Sundays, but we have Soccer Leagues that start at 8am. Which means we would have to end at 6am to ensure the fields were clean at 8am. If people want to come in from 2am-6am and we can get refs/front desk staff to come in we can look into it. But it's probably not going to happen Sundays. I'd love to we just have a lot going on.

Gbxdillon · 11-19-2012, 06:10 PM

Enemy should be there Friday

1badWS6 · 11-19-2012, 09:18 PM

Would Saturday nights be possible at all?

On Saturdays we go till 10:30pm. Which means at best we couldn't start till 12:00 - 12:30am

The_Leech · 11-20-2012, 04:19 PM

Thats the difficult part, they have a ton of other sports and activities going on. LaCross, soccer, football, daycare, etc.

I have a good idea in my held how to build it. Would just need a run to the hardware store if they made something.

1badWS6 · 11-21-2012, 06:20 AM

I've been trying to make it out on a Friday night but I've always had some stuff that I needed to tend to.
