I am a regular at the PHoF. I play there about 3x a week. Sometimes more.

I also donated (in person).

The PHoF is a unique place. That’s for sure.

It’s not a basement with pristine Jersey Jacks and Stern LE’s that only get wiped with a baby’s diaper by its owners.

The PHoF keeps its machines PLAYABLE. You can go there and play Stern’s Avengers Infinity Quest or a game of Bagatelle from 1934.

Tim may not be Mr. Rogers, but he’s definitely passionate about pinball and built an institution that deserves to thrive for many years to come.

There was mention at some point of possibly taking machine “sponsorships”.

I know I would donate even more if I knew I was getting a cheesy plaque on my favorite cheesy pin there saying that I sponsored that machine.

I guess the major issue would be how big the sponsor plaque would have to be to fit all the names for the people wanting to sponsor Pinball Circus.

I would probably be the only name on CSI.

I’ve visited the new location a few times and am a regular at the current place.

You can literally see the new PHoF from the Vegas sign. It’s literally across the street.

Of course I donated as well. I live in Vegas and spend 100x more time at the Hall of Fame than the Strip (or any casino for that matter).
