I can’t tell if this is because I’m too old or too young lol

When was there a bowling alley in the Union.

It either didn’t last very long or has been gone for over a decade bruh

There was a bowling alley in the Union in the mid 90s.

I haven't seen the bowling alley since the early 2000's. If i had to guess it went away around the time the union was renovated or even before that.

It was a big part of the student union when I was a freshman in 1972. But then again, I haven't lived in Baton Rouge since 1986, so I don't know.

The thin crust pizzas at the bowling alley in the early 2000s were legit.

On the bottom floor, around the stairs.
They closed the bowling alley when they did the big renovation of the Union years ago. Which is a shame, because bowling is cheap and fun and one of those things that goes in and out of fashion.

For the really old timers, was there ever a time when the Union seemed nice? Same goes for Middleton. Those buildings are such embarrassments now and have been for generations.

I entered LSU in 1064 and I think that may have been the first year it was open. It was very nice imo. I ate a lot of meals there and made a lot of Sunday night phone calls from the pay telephone room. Just my opinion though.
