New Models of Family Entertainment

Indoor Sports Facilities are a nearly one-billion-dollar industry in the United States. Adding an arcade and other entertainment options to an existing Indoor Sports Facility is a natural fit.

Guests at sports parks are typically families with active lifestyles and discretionary income, making them an ideal audience for FECs.

Let Pinnacle Entertainment Group help transform your indoor sports park by expanding into an arcade or other Family Entertainment Center. A smart investment now can enhance operational efficiency, create additional revenue streams, attract more guest visits, boost customer satisfaction, and improve profit margins.

What is a Family Entertainment Center?

There are many family entertainment centers, varying from low-cost facilities with inflatable toys appealing to small kids to multi-acre amusement parks for the entire family and everything in between.

Ultimately, an FEC is a facility that a family would visit outside their home for entertainment. Other terms you’ll hear when talking about FECs include:

PEG Icon LBE

Location-Based Entertainment

PEG Icon OHE

Out-of-Home Entertainment

PEG Icon BEC

Bowling Entertainment Center

PEG Icon CEC

Cinema Entertainment Center

Many of these types of entertainment could be effectively integrated within an indoor sports park. Choosing the best options for your facility depends on many factors, including cost of construction, size of the market surrounding the facility, amount of traffic generated by sports leagues, and tournaments, and square footage available. The first attraction that is typically added is a redemption arcade.

What is a Redemption Arcade?

Redemption arcades provide game experiences that reward prizes based on the player’s skill. Some common games in this space include Skee-Ball and Whac-A-Mole. Often, these games feature an element of active physical skill, making them a seamless fit for indoor sports parks.

Why Add a Family Entertainment Center?

There are several key reasons to add a redemption arcade to an Indoor Sports Facility:

Entertainment for the Whole Family

Adding entertainment provides additional incentives to bring the whole family to a league game.

Increased Customer Base

Attractions such as arcades, bowling, and virtual reality provide another draw to bring families to your facility on nights they are not playing in a league, or to bring in an entirely new segment of customers.

Place for Parties

By providing a modern redemption game room in your facility, you become a go-to destination for your teams’ post-season parties. It will also increase the attractiveness of your facility for birthday parties. Adding a game room will be key to attracting the very lucrative team and party markets.

Increased Revenue Opportunities

Adding games increases the total spend per visit of existing customers.
