So many pool halls closing! People doing so many other things now, computers, cell phones, video games, and several other things! How do you think pool can be saved in the USA?

Im not sure what the answer is but i think if you run any type of pool hall you need to attract a wider range of people not just pool players.
I think a establishment needs to have Bar and grill .You cannot make it just off tables.Running leagues,pool tournaments,card tournaments,contest for pool player. Owners need to find ways to draw people in.
I know this is probably crazy talk but i thought if some how regular pool league could some how be joined with the pro,s.
Ex . Say so much of your money that you paid in at your league would go to some pro funding and return maybe once or twice during your league a pro would stop through and give a lesson camp or some kinda Exhibition. Could work i think.
More TV coverage for pool:
* A character that is entertaining to watch.

Legalize the cherry masters nationwide and the pool rooms may prosper again... I know when the City put the kibosh on them here we lost 2 rooms and several others were hurting to keep the doors open..... Several years later we have no rooms to really speak of.... One sportsbar... One bar table dive and the old action room has barely got the doors open and is in such disrepair that it's starting to be mostly tumbleweeds
actually the APA may be part of the answer... If a national league could be organized along the lines of the EBPF with different levels and a path for progression and it could replace the APA which has done little that does not serve it's own self interest of lining it's owners pockets maybe pool would have a chance...
More TV coverage for pool, which includes:
* No wearing 20 year old jeans and a sweater in the finals of major tournaments, wtf is that about anyway? I play in my small country's national league and we all HAVE to wear black leather shoes, black pants(the ones that you wear with a suit), a one-colored shirt, not a t-shirt.
The dress code just changes so much, IMO.
* A character that is entertaining to watch. Look at snooker and Ronnie O'Sullivan. He almost single-handedly made snooker as popular in the UK as it is today.
