Adventures in Alabama

Travel often requires flexibility and just being able to “go with the flow”. I boarded a plane to Huntsville, AL with a plan…then landed with an alternate contingency plan that led me to (for the second week in a row) Mar a beeline directly for a Main Event (Huntsville) in order to get in a game before the end of the evening. Sometimes I’m VERY appreciative of those late night hours they offer!

Much of the theming I saw was the same (or very similar) to the subway theme I experienced last week. While I would prefer to see some greater variance between arenas, I am sure they are trying to keep things consistent for their brand.

This time I noticed slight differences. While the wall mural is the same as I saw in Arkansas, the placement of the bridge and the graphic on the front was different…slightly.

The theming on the walls appeared to be different as well.

In previous years I used to take pics at the same spots in every Main Event I visited. As upgrades take place we may get to a point where I take this pic in every M.E. as well.

However, every time I play I do see different things. For example, as absurd as it sounds, I did not previously recognize this structure as actually being a “subway”.

The view of the “opposite side of the street” features a second bridge structure.

Once I “got off the subway” and “returned to the station” I barely had time to process the similarities and differences between the arenas, but I was able to appreciate how happy I was to get to this arena before the end if the night, as it allowed for me to kickstart my weekend of “Adventures in Alabama!”
