I had the opportunity to bowl there a few times, it is a nice facility.  With the current state of the economy it is easy to understand that with the debt load that they must have made it a struggle to survive.

I do believe they were scheduled to host an NCAA tournament this year as well.  Having bowled there several times I personally think having the only open bowling rate as hourly was a bit of a mistake.  I never liked the concept.
