Early plans for Bryan’s new Midtown Park could contain facility that Aggies could use...
Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said that while the plans for Bryan’s Midtown Park facility are in their early stages, he’s also excited about the possibilities of the Aggies’ tennis teams having access to a nice indoor setting.
The good news for the Aggies is help appears to be on the way, courtesy of an innovative idea to avoid another massive complex on the west side of the A&M campus that would sit empty much of the time and require plenty of university upkeep and a boatload of air-conditioning. “We’ve been working with the city of Bryan since early 2021, going on almost two years and the Midtown Park development, and we were looking for an off-campus partnership with an indoor complex, knowing our needs are not year-round with an indoor complex,” A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said. “You don’t really want to build a complex and just have it sit there for nine or 10 months out of the year.
“We know we have to have six courts that are rated for NCAA play, with the right kind of lighting and seating and those kinds of things. cost estimates have not been finalized.”
