Cities and the big rooms

Huntsville and Auburn each have two centers in the data, and Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and Tuscaloosa each have one.

The largest room outside that group is AMF Pin Palace Lanes in Huntsville, with 36 lanes.

Lane totals are missing for three centers, so the 363 figure is a minimum rather than a full count.
