How much does a gig like this pay (on average)?
you might want to contact the club and ask, I'm guessing between $50-$100 per game?

Thank you for that guesstimate. I will contact them if I decide to pursue it further. Thanks again.
I auditioned for the PA job when it was the Schaumburg Flyers. I did, in fact, get offered the job, but turned it down when the offer came in at $50/day. Sorry. I live 35 minutes from the park and my time is worth more than that.
I should get notified when the "winner" is selected, I'll post the information here....
