Skip dinner and a movie. Your next date night could be in a dark room where you and your date don a pair of goggles and race each other via drones whizzing through a “Tron”-like track at 80 mph.

In the wake of news that drone racing will air on ESPN, drone startup Aerial Sports League is making its own efforts to capitalize on the buzz around drone racing. This summer, the company will open the first-of-its-kind drone entertainment complex in San Francisco.

The Aerial Sports League is opening “Drone Sports World,” a drone facility where locals and tourists alike can try their hand at drone racing. Think of it as a cross between a mini-golf course and the recently popular escape rooms.

The space will cater to experienced drone racers who can practice on a full-sized track, while newbies might want to stop in for a few hours to try out drone racing for the first time.

“We’ll teach you how to build drones, teach you how to fly drones, get you registered with the FAA and make sure you know what you’re doing before you leave,” said Aerial Sports League CEO Marque Cornblatt. Many racing drones weigh less than the 0.55-pound minimum limit for FAA registration requirements.

For now, Drone Sports World is hosting a one-off event this weekendas a beta test of the space. There will be a “Drinks and Drones” cocktail party for adults on Saturday night followed by a day of drone racing, combat and training on Sunday.

Later this summer, Drone Sports World will permanently open at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts Innovation Hangar.

“We see this as the first in a series of franchise opportunities that we’re looking at opening around the country,” Cornblatt said.

The facility will include a drone racetrack and a cage for aerial combat, where players use their drone to knock their opponents out of the air. There will also be a shop, where fans can buy their own racing drone.

Spectators can get a “drone-view” from a live video feed that streams from the drone’s camera.

Cornblatt said currently most racers build their own drones, which cost between $500 and $700. But would-be racers could pay a fraction of that to fly for a few hours at the facility.

“We look at this as an entertainment destination,” he said. “People would much rather spend $25 to $50 on a day of playing here.”

Cornblatt said parties, like the one this weekend, will occur on a regular basis in the permanent facility as after-hours, adults-only affairs.

“We’ve worked as drone entertainment at parties, and we’ve found people who are a bit drunk can even learn how to fly,” he said. “We can get you flying confidently in under five minutes.”

It’s safe for kids too. The drone track is surrounded by a protective net, so even if the drone crashes, it won’t hit spectators. And kids are good at it. The winner of the inaugural World Drone Prix in Dubai earlier this year was 15-year-old Luke Bannister, who walked away with a $250,000 prize.

Drone racers wear first-person-view goggles to get a live video feed of what the drone’s camera is capturing.

Investors are making big bets on drone racing too. Another group, the Drone Racing League, announced in January that it raised $8 million in funding, including an investment from Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross’s venture-capital firm RSE Ventures.

Drone racing could be the next big wave in the rising aerial robotics industry.

“The camera-drone market is saturated,” Cornblatt said, referencing drone-makers such as unicorn startup DJI and Intel-backed INTC, -0.85% Yuneec. “If you want one, you probably have one.”

There may be truth to that. GoPro’s highly-anticipated Karma drone is struggling with delays, while 3D Robotics, which had raised $99 million in four funding rounds, laid off an undisclosed number of employees earlier this year after failing to sell as many of its drones as anticipated. Still, drone sales are growing. The number of drones sold grew 224% from April 2015 to April 2016, according to a report from the NPD Group’s Retail Tracking Service.

“But the next wave is drone sports,” Cornblatt said. “If these companies want to survive, they’ll have to start looking at making racing drones.”
