[November 12, 2018]  LINCOLN  -- Lincoln Family Theater and Community Center capitalizing on Big Video Gaming opportunity

Marty McFly himself from “Back to the Future” would be shocked by the wide and advanced use of video gaming in 2018. Video gaming on televisions, computers, and smart phones by young and old alike have created a billion-dollar industry.

Lincoln Family Theater and Lincoln’s tremendously strategic and advantageous location are about to take advantage of this video gaming culture. Currently code-named “Magic Circle E-sports,” LFT clearly envisions the delivery of positive economic, social, and spiritual benefits to the citizens of Lincoln.

Bill Campbell of Lincoln has advanced knowledge of video gaming trends, products, and opportunities at the regional and national level. “Video gaming in theaters is just beginning,” says Campbell. “Lincoln is in the center-of-the-center and in a great spot to take advantage.”

“I can see several other business opportunities develop from this success, a real opportunity for the small business owner.” says Marilyn Altman, LFT Operations Manager.

Campbell travels regularly to tournaments and other gaming events across the Midwest and nationally. “There is no doubt Lincoln is the perfect spot,” says Campbell. “A streamlined event of this type could blossom several other niche business opportunities relating to the video game/nerd culture. This will be a great example for other unrelated Lincoln businesses to follow and see the advantages of targeting this vast “Magic Circle” market. It is so interesting to think that the entire population of Lincoln is only one percent of the big “Magic Circle.”

In January, LFT will hold its first weekly video gaming tournament, targeting gamers, their friends and family from what is referred to as the “magic circle,” the one million people that live within just 40 minutes of Lincoln, primarily in Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, and Decatur.

“Lincoln Magic Circle”
Ideal Destination Location
Fall, 2018

• 1M+ people within 40 minutes drive via interstate drive

• 10M+ people within 2 hours train ride via new Chicago/St. Louis High Speed Corridor

• 2M+ annual international tourists to Abe Lincoln Sites

• Located on internationally recognized “Old Route 66”

Future efforts will see a push toward attracting the 10 million plus that are located within a two-hour train ride via the new Lincoln Depot and the Chicago/St. Louis High Speed Rail corridor.

In addition, all involved believe this effort can help various local and non-local people who are in need. “If done correctly this event will deliver positive messages and examples to people who are being negatively affected by a poverty mentality, lack of positive role models, and addictions,” says Marilyn Altman. “This event will provide a clean and fun atmosphere for everyone, young and old. We are looking for opportunities to include those financially unable to attend such an event. Our new “Moving Movies” will concurrently be running for them to view, delivering positive messages about living an “Others Oriented,” forgiveness, unoffendable, thankful lifestyle. “
