Before the devastating impact of Covid-19 fundamentally shifted how to safely enjoy something like sports or events in large gatherings, the idea of attending esports events at an old-stꦚyle movie drive in w👍as likely something no one ever envisioned. 2020 has certainly been a strange year, and that is exactly what Horizon Group Properties and esports analytics company Harena Data will seek to do.
In a press release dated July 16, 2020, the pair a partnership to develop drive-in movie theaters that will double as esports c🌌enters across the United States. The first four locations will be Louisville, Ky, Gettysburg, Pa, El Paso, Texas, and Laredo, Texas. Due to the need to maintai🏅n acceptable social distancing, the idea of drive-in theaters makes perfect sense.
Speaki🍰ng about the development was James Harris, Managing Director at Horizons, who states, “These drive-ins are a new and updated, albeit retro, component of centers, that give shoppers added reason to visit their local retailers and are a fun entertainment offering to the community. To top it off we know this exciting attraction will have safety as a priority.”
That on its own is likely going to be more than enough of a draw to attra❀ct consumers, sincꦿe many people long for the ability to return to normal in some way, being able to see a movie, even if from one’s vehicle, is likely the closest and safest approximation to normal one can ask for right now.
The press release goes on to describe how at the arenas, consumers will be able to enjoy, watch, and somehow even compete in major esports events and tournaments in their cities, all from their vehicles. The idea of being able to compete is truly the fascinating part. Likely, this must refer only to esports for games on a mobile platform. Otherwise, attempting🥀 to play on a laptop, with a trackpad, all over Wifi would provide conditions ill suited💧 for any form of tactical shooter, for instance.
On the other hand, mobile games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hearthstone, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Clash Royale, and a few others could be played in c🉐o🍸mfort with virtually any smart device, and both have dedicated esports followings that could be leveraged in this kind of development.
For now, this is pure speculation, and we look forward to hearing more about what Horizon has in store for espoཧrts from the comfort of one’s vehicle.
