<p>I was looking though my Dad's lucky bags from the late 70s/early 80s and in there they showed pictures from some pretty impressive bands that played at USNA by the likes of the Doobie Brothers and America. Do any bands still come perform at USNA or is that long gone? I have a feeling that due to heightened security and changes over the years it doesn't happen anymore.</p>
<p>Also he remebered there being a bowling alley under Bancroft right under 4-0 deck. Is that still there? It sure sounds like fun!</p>
<p>Hi Gopherkitty ~ When we were at CVW there was a concert. Actually we met them in the elevator of our hotel as the mids were greeting the band to go preform at the academy. I am blank as to their names but when I got back to work all the 20 somethings new the groups and couldn't believe we had been in the elevator with them! I'll think hard and see if I can remember. My son went to the sprint football game and didn't go to the concert but it was a Friday night option! JM</p>
<p>Middle-Tier bands make periodic appearances at the academy for the mids.</p>
<p>The bowling alley disappeared in the early 1990's. It used to be located where the "Midshipmen Mega Mall" is located today. </p>

<p>What's the Midshipman Mega Mall? Sounds interesting. Too bad about the bowling alley though.... it would have been fun to just walk down a play a few games!</p>
<p>I think it's the Mid store. It's huge.</p>
