Community,

At St. Cloud State we are currently undergoing a strategic program appraisal for the division. We have been monitoring our usage for bowling V.S. billiards. Currently we are trending towards bowling usage; whereas, billiards used to be more popular. I am wondering what you see the future 5 year trend heading. Billiards or Bowling? Any observations would be appreciated.

 my guess is that trend will continue. I am STRUGGLING to get billiard players in my center. Bowling continues to account for the vast majority of our revenue.
