I don’t know about the old one, but the new lanes at the Lambrighth are nice.
The old one below the bookstore was only about 8 or ten lanes. I bowled a few frames there. I thought they had built a new one at Lambright.
Anyone remember the bowling alley across from Bogard Hall? I had a PE bowling class there back in the stone age.Quote:

The only bowling alley on campus is in Lambright. The bookstore space is now general purpose, I know the BCM held events there before they finished their new building during my tenure.
I guessed they would close it. It was pretty small.
It was small, but the antique pin setter would always spot you a few pins.Quote:

In the early 90s it was a nice place to relax between classes, study, meet up with friends, bowl...heck, they had pool tables, air hockey, etc down there as well.
Nope...there was a stand-alone, private bowling alley down the street from Bogard. It was not across the street, but about a block away. I recall when they moved the bookstore from the Tonk and built it with the bowling alley below it. I took bowling as a PE class in 1965. It was at the one down the street, not at the bookstore bowling alley. It closed after the Tech bowling center was built for obvious reasons.Quote:

I think that former bowling alley on Arizona Ave is now used by First Baptist Church as a student ministry.Quote:
