Gonna be blunt...I stopped in there last Saturday since I failed to remember to cancel the event. Figured I would practice on my own at any rate (Mike C. showed up though -pretty sure this is why he is now a proud owner of a Foosball table!) Anyways, It was my fault so I had to make sure that anyone that showed up knew what was up. Long story short, everything that was under renovation was still under renovation. I am not sure what is going on at that place. I do know there was some problems with a couple close sales, so that is PROBABLY why the renovations are happening.
In other words, I saw NO remodeling. I only saw the front bar still behind a wall of black plastic. The owner told me they are doing a bunch of work, but it is in areas that are not going to be visible to us at any rate. I suspect everything that is happening is to fix some things that prevented the place from selling. Though, I do not know for sure since the owner was talking about making some additional changes that would definitely be noticed by everyone and anyone (and most definitely included him as the owner).
Truth be told, I am not sure if Dale (the owner) even knows himself. Bill and I have discussed the matter with him extensively and repeatedly. We even went so far as to say we wish to move the tables to a different location to preserve Saturday foosball while promising we would bring them back if he decides to stick with it. Another long story short, its a friendship thing. Dale has been with Arizona Foosball longer than any other establishment. He worries that if we leave, we will not come back. Thus, even though he is not sure how he is going to move forward, we feel a heavy debt to him due to his years of continuous support.
I truly hope this open acknowledgment of fault can clear up some of the recent obscurity. Specifically, I am completely aware that this is a failure on the part of Arizona Foosball. Saturday nights should be a thing, and they were for a very long time. To be more precise, it is largely my fault that procrastination has been the answer towards Stinger's. Why? Because it was my favorite place to be. I don't want to give it up if there is a chance it can recover.
Sincerely,
Selfish Bastard
