Where I live, bowling is popular, but smaller alleys still struggle to survive financially. I don’t know how well the larger alleys are doing but they seem to be well maintained, so I assume they are making a profit. The PBA has to do a better job at finding sponsors to pay for advertising, so more bowling tournaments will be televised. It sure would be better than 90% of the crap programming that’s televised lately.
Big alleys by me in WI are junk now costs to much to keep 80+ lanes up and running. Leagues are WAY down in numbers and no one really goes to alleys in the summer time so alleys lose alot of money just being open..... smaller alleys here are way better and more maintained with 8-10 lanes.
