Grew up outside of Gainesville and always wondered about Jai Alai. The ads on TV made it very important but no adult I knew cared about it. Very confusing.

I went to U.F. in the 90s (grew up in South Florida). Some college buddies and I went to a Jai Alai game in Ocala once. It felt like we'd stepped back in time a few decades. Here's photos of the Orlando fronton which has a similar vibe:
