Does this house not have leagues year round? Where I bowl our summer leagues usually run right into our winter leagues or we only have one week off.

I guess we will find out. . . my guess though is that the PBA will not let anyone else bowl in the facility while the pros are bowling. I know this is how it has been in the past.

There is so many bowling alleys in the detroit metro area they are basically stacked on top of each other. I am sure everyone will get to bowl some were and I sure some poeple will make a big deal and B!$@H about it, such is life.
On another note im sure the 2009 masters champion John Nolen is happy about this. Its like 30 minutes from his house.

Or maybe he won't, because maybe one reason he wanted to join the PBA was to get out and see the country?    Also to be fair, Taylor and Allen Park are more like 45 minutes south of his home.

If the PBA is looking at cutting costs it is not a bad move to do. They don't have to move across the country for each stop. They can set up shop in one area for awhile. I am sure they could rent out houses or get a huge discount on hotel rooms for the time they are in the area. It could save the players some cash as well. Have to wait and see how it works out.

The South 24 of Thunderbowl is known as the arena. Until just a few years ago it had standium-style seating that could accomodate probably 5000 people. I haven't been in there for a while, but someone told me that they ripped out the seating and put in a nightclub. It was great for watchiing the All-Stars, scratch leagues (Men on Tuesday, women on Wednesday) that enticed the best bowlers in the area to show their skills.
