I don't let the kids use there good bats in the cage. Can't hit it but 50' anyway so why waste them ya know.

I just helped someone look into another indoor facility over in Texas. You need at least 5,000 square feet and unless you have pro coaches giving you a cut of there lessons it's tough to make money in that business. You can put four cages in that facility if you have the perfect layout.
An eight cage facility can make money but again your right it's all about demand, of course an 8 cage is more risk.
We have a 12 cage within three miles of my house and it does well but it has six full time pro coaches using the facility and that keeps the cages full in the off season.
Very cool on the backyard cage, I need to get one at my house.
