Spokane Youth Sports Association or SYSA as it is better known, has operated a bingo hall in a former grocery store ( a former Safeway, I believe )for quite some time. The bingo hall, currently located at 2230 E. Sprague Ave. offers several bingo games to benefit the non-profit on multiple nights per week.
But now, the SYSA Bingo Hall is on the move and closing up shop on E. Sprague. The last night for bingo in the current location is Sunday, Feb. 21st and there will be no bingo for a short time. But don't worry as it is not for long. SYSA plans to begin bingo again in a new home sometime in March, depending on permits and renovations and the like.
SYSA plans to move it's Bingo Hall into the former Tailgater Sports Bar building at the corner of N. Howard & W. Boone, across the street from Spokane Arena. The new location will act as both a Bingo Hall and some offices. The dates and times of bingo will likely remain the same but will give the facility a safer location that is closer to Downtown. Free parking is also on site, although a portion of the buildings parking lot is shared with neighboring Value Village store.
SYSA's current building on E. Sprague already does have a new owner. But, the organization is not sure of what their plans are for that building. We will keep an eye out for that, in addition to the official opening date of the new Bingo Hall location.
