Tennis Center and McEnroe,Roddick Champions Showdown tourney

Why the Hell do we have a state of the art tennis center if we are going to host premier tennis matches in Moody Coliseum? Seriously - what a waste...

How many seats are in tennis complex? Couple hundred? Serious question.

I honestly have no idea. That must be why - I bet they can make a killing off the Suites in Moody for this event...

Seating capacity, setup, VIP hospitality, production.

Also, I doubt the school is doing anything other than renting out a venue on demand and sending some emails.

Indoor vs outdoor as well. Doesn't look like a SMU hosted event at all.

If this is a successful event - look for a re-seating next year and increased donations to the MC to buy tickets...

I thought someone said the facility is usable for competition but the finishing touches are not yet done. Is that still the case?
