Memphis Tennis gets a new home
another partnership with the city for a great new home just down the street from both the main and park avenue campuses https://gotigersgo.com/news/2019/8/5/gen...nsion.aspx

They are ok for the most part. Have a good men's coach. This has to help

I don't think it's going to matter how well they have done, there is no reason they shouldn't be one of the best programs around with a tennis center like that in the future unless the coach is just completely inept. Warm weather and facilities like that should equal top 25 most years. UCF plays on some super nice USTA national tennis center as well. I happened to see them hosting the NCAA's on the tennis channel a few months back in their new facility.

Might as well. We're paying for it either way

Is that going to be along Southern, where the Leftwich Center currently is? I believe it to be the northwest corner of Audubon Park. If so, that's awesome! I've thought for years that they should team up with the city to do tennis and golf there.

Looks like indoor facilities of some sort to the left of the tennis courts. What are they?

I believe that would be the indoor courts.

Memphis used to have a fairly decent tennis scene, which has faded over the last couple of decades. Just lost their ATP tour stop a couple of years ago.

It's a good partnership to have with the city. They are really starting to invest in their campus and the surrounding neighborhoods are having somewhat of a renaissance. The U of M is doing what they should have been doing for decades. They've recently gained more autonomy from the Tennessee Board of Education, which is most likely the reason for the recent undertakings.

Now, only if they could get a football stadium on campus.

Memphis doesn't need an on-campus Stadium. The Liberty Bowl is about 2 miles from campus ... A straight walk down Central.

and if we ever did build one it would be at the 'Park Ave Campus' which is still like a mile from main campus.

so essentially we would have to pay 100 million dollars to move one mile closer to main campus....no thanks!

That's close enough, if you ask me.

Just remember the LB is approaching 60 yrs old. So whether now or later the university needs to have a plan for where the school plays FB 10-20-30yrs from now. They cannot & should not rely on the city beyond the current usable life of the LB.

Theyd have to do a lot of work on that golf course to make it NCAA level.

WTS, I love playing there because the fairways are huge.

I agree a bit. The LB probably has another 20 years before it becomes Legion Field-like.

Just wait until you see artist’s rendering of the on-site Jerry’s Sno Cones. It was a brutal bidding war between Jerry and Dairy Whip.
