City of Bryan Approves Indoor Tennis Facility – Texas A&M Athletics

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The City of Bryan in conjunction with Texas A&M University approved on Monday the landmark construction of a new multipurpose indoor tennis facility that will serve as the indoor home of the Aggie men’s and women’s tennis programs.
 

Currently the only school in the SEC without an indoor tennis facility, the addition of the multipurpose facility makes Texas A&M a more viable option to host conference, NCAA and national events like the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. The complex will give Aggie student-athletes the opportunity to train for indoor competition while at A&M and for their professional careers. Additionally, the facility will allow outdoor matches impacted by inclement weather to continue as scheduled. The project is expected to be completed 24 months after the signing of the agreement by all parties.
 
The 65,000-square-foot facility will feature six courts that meet NCAA and United States Tennis Association standards and will be located in Travis Bryan Midtown Park, just over three miles from the Mitchell Tennis Center.
 

Both the men’s and women’s tennis programs have asserted themselves as national powers and league juggernauts over the last decade. Since A&M’s arrival into the SEC, the men’s program has amassed four conference titles and the women’s squad has won three, all within the last two seasons. Between the two, they have combined for 13 Sweet 16 appearances, five Elite Eights and two national semifinal berths.

Director of Athletics Ross Bjork Statement

“I want to thank the Bryan City Council and Mayor Gutierrez for their vision and support in approving the agreement to build a brand-new indoor tennis and multipurpose complex at Midtown Park that will serve our entire community and especially our Texas A&M tennis programs. We appreciate the innovative and collaborative approach the City of Bryan staff has taken with this project and for creating a win-win situation that will have long lasting benefits across Aggieland.
 

The development of Midtown Park as a major destination and the proximity to the Mitchell Tennis Center made this a perfect place to create an indoor tennis complex. We started this conversation back in early 2021 and I want to commend and give a big thanks to the former Mayor of Bryan, Andrew Nelson, for his vision to start this…
