Sunday Night Football @ The FuseLODGE!
Update October 16th
Our 4th event is this Sunday, October 16th - Cowboys vs. Eagles.
Doors will again open at 4PM with the game starting at 5:20 PM.
Cowboys vs. Eagles promises to be a good game!
Hot Dogs, Nachos, Beer, Wine, Soda, Water and Open Bar will again be provided.
The BBAPA Board approved purchase of the TV and Monthly Internet Fees so the monetary donations a few of you made were also very much appreciated. Join in on our half time score football pool.... 4 squares for $1 making the winner's pot = $25
If you have suggestions on how to improve, add to or modify the event, please let me know. Suggestions already made were to raise the height of the TV, which has been completed, add a poker table at half-time for those interested in playing cards, and a couple suggestions to host a movie viewing night at the FuseLODGE which is in the planning stage.... Top Gun Maverick is on the agenda!
Hope to see you tonight !(Sunday)

Big Picture, Big Sound, and Big Hot Dogs in a Big Hangar for a Big Game!
My research on how to get high speed Wifi and subscription TV into the FuseLODGE is complete.
Yesterday I installed Unlimited T-Mobile 5G internet. It's very fast and inexpensive in comparison to other options.
Last week the BBAPA Board approved the purchase of a big screen HD TV for the FuseLODGE and today I was able to find a nice 70" model at Best Buy for $509.
This afternoon I set up and tested the 70" TV with my FireStick attached and connected the audio to a Home Theatre Sound System. With my subscription to FireTV we now have full HDTV for Football Game Viewing and unlimited high speed Wi-Fi in the FuseLODGE.
Hot Dogs (Costco, Grill your Own), Nacho Chips and the Bar will be open including beer, sodas and water.
Doors to the Big Hangar will be open at 4PM.
This is a first time event that I hope will continue on at least a weekly basis.
Please come and check it out.
