From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Bowling Stadium located in Reno, Nevada was opened in 1995. It has five floors and is used exclusively for tournament and league play, public use of the lanes is extremely rare.

On the fourth floor there is 78 tournament lanes. It also has the world's longest video screen at 440 feet used for displaying scores and graphic presentations. Brunswick's high tech ball-return sends the ball back at speeds in excess of 30 miles an hour.

On the fifth floor is a 172 seat Iwerks Theatre which has a four story screen and a six channel digital surround sound system. The theater is also rarely used and when it is running it is only available to large groups.

It's media recognition has earned it a few nicknames, "Taj Mahal of Tenpins" given by The Los Angeles Times, and "Pin Palace" given by USA Today.
