The Texas A&M Tennis program will be getting a brand-new facility that will be located in College Station’s sister city Bryan. The City of Bryan along with the university has approved the construction of a new indoor tennis complex to serve as the new home for the team.
As the only SEC team that does not have an indoor facility, this will do wonders for both teams. With the Women’s team, I believe it’s what they need to get over that final hurdle to win an NCAA Championship. This type of move will also help boost the recruiting efforts for the Men’s team.
The new facility will be a 65,000-square-foot, six-court, NCAA/United States Association approved complex. Once the ink dries it will take about two years to complete and will be located in the Travis Bryan Midtown Park.

Texas A&M Athletic Director Ross Bjork has been talking about getting the Tennis program a place that is worthy of the accomplishments of the program over the past decade and had to say this on the news:
“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 process and create the momentum to get this project finalized. We appreciate the support of the Texas A&M Administration for supporting this initiative and look forward to creating many championship opportunities for Aggie tennis in this first-class facility.”
It’s great to see the expansion of the athletic facilities for the University and they will now have a world class indoor facility to complement the world class tennis program.
