MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee State University officials cut the ribbon Thursday, Feb. 1, to officially open the new $8 million Outdoor Tennis Complex located at the corner of Middle Tennessee Boulevard and Greenland Drive on campus. The new facility will host the 2024 CUSA Men’s Tennis Championships April 20-21.
President Sidney A. McPhee praised the complex, saying our tennis coaches and athletics administrators “were adamant that to truly be a mainstay on a national stage, we needed to develop an advanced facility capable of meeting all the competition and practice needs of our teams, one that would not only be the best in the conference but would rival any program in the region.”
He added, “They were confident that this was a project that the community would embrace and were willing to do whatever it took to make it a reality.”
This new state of the art facility will serve as the on-campus home of MTSU’s men’s and women’s tennis programs, featuring new locker rooms, spectator facilities for 250 Blue Raiders fans, eight state of the art tennis courts and new coaches’ offices, among many other amenities.
