Two friends and myself (and an investor) are in the process of getting a business lone and opening up an arcade in the Palm Springs area. We really want to try and build up a scene out here in the Coachella Valley. If you are not sure exactly where Palm Springs is (we will most likely not actually be in Palm Springs but that is the city most people know) it is about an hour east of Riverside, two hours east of LA. We want to see how much interest there is before we throw down thousands of dollars. We will have tournaments with cash prizes, and try to encourage a higher level of competitive play than you can get online or why else would you come. We are wondering how many players live in the area or are willing to take a trip. We also would love some feedback on what games you would like to see (SF IV, 3s, SF 2 are a given, maybe SSFIV will have an arcade release by then). I would love to help expand the player base in central southern California! It will be several months to a year before anything opens but I wanted to test the waters and see if it is even worth it.
wow this was a long time ago.
