National Bowling Stadium

National Bowling Stadium, Professional bowling stadium in downtown Reno, United States.

The National Bowling Stadium is a sports venue in downtown Reno with 78 tournament lanes across about 33,700 square meters (363,000 sq ft) under an aluminum dome. The complex seats about 1,100 spectators and includes the bowling lanes, a museum, and event spaces.

The stadium opened on February 3, 1995, after three years of construction and a cost of $47.5 million. It was funded by a room tax that Reno lobbied the Nevada Legislature to approve, tied to commitments from the American Bowling Congress and the Women's International Bowling Congress to return every third year. It was part of a downtown renovation that also included the Silver Legacy Resort & Casino.

The stadium hosts an extension of the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame, based in Arlington, Texas. It displays hall-of-fame portraits and artifacts collected and preserved by the museum. The venue is nicknamed the "Taj Mahal of tenpins", and its main pro shop is still called Lane 81, a nod to the 80 lanes of the original plan.

The stadium sits in downtown Reno, and its facade carries an 80-foot (24 m) aluminum geodesic dome shaped like a bowling ball. Inside, the lanes occupy the main floor while a computerized command center overlooks them from the fifth level. The lanes can be covered to turn the hall into convention space, so check what event is running before you arrive.

The entrance is dominated by an 80-foot (24 m) tall aluminum bowling ball sculpture that is one of the location's most recognizable features. The building has also served as a filming location for several movies, making it known beyond the local bowling scene.
