I remember being 11-16 when I was more innocent and less self reliant for transportation. Having league nights at bowling alleys really grinded my gears (insert Family Guy picture here)
In my early 30's I now encounter issues trying to bowl on "open" times and it drives me nuts. (I'd love to practice when leagues arent bowling in relative peace, but I understand that's their open moneymaking time)
What is more important? It's hard to say, but any recreational activity that uses a court a lane or a field has these issues. Having an easy way to find out if lanes are available is a much better idea. An app, or a website would be huge. We can't all get what we want. Bowling isn't dying because your alley wouldnt let you use 7 lanes, it's dying because it's governing bodies and individual centers still don't know how to embrace the individual with technology and avoid these instances as much as possible.
I understand your frustration, but hating people you don't know is a little childish. Especially if there are more houses available to you. I live in Maine and my alley is hosting states by order from the USBC. There goes the only 32 lane alley within an hour for about 5 weekend mornings and afternoons. Oh, well. I'd rather have a USBC center than not.
