Why wouldn't you put all that stuff underground? Most of it is a windowless activity, and in some cases having uncontrolled light pollution and inadequate sound proofing is a negative (eg. theater/golf sim).

Well just me but if I have the money to build a multi level underground lair replete with squash courts, I don't want to live in a neighborhood where I am space constrained by my closest neighbor.
I'm pretty sure a squash court takes up more vertical space than horizontal.
And yeah even if I have a windowless room, I will prefer that to something underground.
