That doesn't include any other costs. He also said the bowling alley that is being built is owned by a man named Patel (sp?)who owns one of the hotels. I can't remember which hotel.
24 acres?? That's over a million square feet!!

Cowboys stadium in Dallas covers approx. 73 acres. Doubt that a single bowling alley w/parking would take up about a third as much as that monstrous facility.

Is bowling this popular in TV, to support a third alley?
