At least co-ed SP is growing around here. It didn't exist 20 years ago, but most of the business leagues are co-ed today. The other growing segments are men's 40+, 50+, even 60+.
The other main difference from the past is that most men's teams no longer wear uniforms. When I played, a team's suits had to match, and having high-quality uniforms was a mark of a good, serious team. They were baseball-style, too—everyone wanted to get away from the old softball uniforms with their long straight pants and gingerbread decorations. Now they wear just about anything, MAYBE matching T-shirts for 5 or 6 of the players.
