There is something to be said about being in the stadium for the big game, but technology and prices have made watching the Super Bowl at home equally as rewarding. Here is how the numbers breakdown, the average cost of a ticket for Sunday’s big game between the 49ers and the Chiefs is $6,000, with the most expensive tickets going for nearly $40,000. According to local retailers, the average price for a high quality 65 inch 4K TV is less than $1,500. Plus the Super Bowl gives broadcasters the chance to push the boundaries of an even higher quality picture right in your living room.

Thanks to more than 100 people coming out to play video games, a summer educational program gets a big boost. Barry Electronics presented a check to the Lima Police Department for just over $1,900 for the Summer Youth Police Academy. The funds came from the recent charity video game competition. A record number of 128-players came out for the event and organizers say donating the money to the Lima Police Department program just made sense.

Local video game players put their gaming skills to the test in the name of charity this weekend. People from around the area turned out to Barry Electronics for their 15th charity video game tournament. Gamers of all ages competed in rounds of Mario Cart Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. and while all were hoping to come out on top, the real draw of the event is the people they meet.

If you are a gamer, be sure and get to Barry Electronics this Saturday.

As a part of National Fire Prevention Week, the Lima Fire Department invited the community out to see how they teach children about fire safety. 

The love of video games has once again raised money for a summer youth activity.
