To ensure the future success of SMU’s historic tennis program, the University has unveiled plans for a new tennis complex, envisioned as a preeminent, top-tier facility to be located prominently on the south side of Mockingbird Lane at the corner of North Central Expressway, formerly the site of Mrs. Baird’s Bakery.
The new complex will provide both indoor and outdoor courts as well as a training center for student athletes and coaches, ensuring that Mustang players can train year-round on campus. In addition, patron accommodations will optimize comfort and viewing and include special guest amenities and a club area, providing an enhanced spectator experience.
