Share this piece of history
Date: 1909

The 1909 American Bowling Congress tournament in Pittsburgh saw more than 2,000 people on opening night at Duquesne Garden, but unfortunately the crowds tapered off during the multi-week tournament and the ABC suffered financial losses. In the future, organizers would take measures to attract spectators as well as top bowlers to the annual events.
