I wasnt asking just you but you have to reply to someone even if the question is a general one.

I figured someone might know. It says it is but obviously you don't get a feel for what the whole building looks like (or their outside arena for that matter). Either way your response made me chuckle.

Are there any rules against incorporating purple and gold in the courts?



Don't know. The indoor courts look purple to me but the outdoor courts look blue.

Looks pretty good to me. Large indoor tennis facilities look fine like that.

What type of building would you be pleased with?

If you go to a baseball game you'll see what I'm talking about. They made sure not to include the back side in the pictures.

But again overall I like the complex.

That is the front of their building


Ah, so now you admit that the building is their indoor facility.

From your previous post:

That is not the indoor facility at Georgia. That is some brick building that is next to the tennis courts.


Amazing. Looks like you've come around to agreeing with me, but are crawfishing into all sorts of things that were never part of the discussion. The photo I posted is the exterior of Georgia's indoor tennis facility. Its all connected, the front facade, the rear A-frame.

Have you ever been to any tennis matches at Georgia? You should go sometime. They still occasionally host the NCAA championships, and do a great job. Beautiful facilities.

I'll await your further deflection and crawfishing.

Both of those are of the same building I previously referenced. Pretty weird that its part of the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, isn't it?


the building you are posting pictures of is attached to the indoor courts, but they are in the same metal type building that LSU has. difference is they have brick siding to cover it up down the sides, but on the opposite end it is just a metal building. Also, UGA's building seems to be much shorter than LSU's so having a brick side would be cheaper.

Definitely agree with this based on your picture.

Overall they did a great job, and as someone pointed out the top recruits in the country feel like it's more than enough. Michael and Julia sell are some bad motherfrickers. I hope Michael becomes the men's head coach soon.

Yes the outside of the indoor facility is plain, but to make that nice would honestly be a waste. The actual inside part of the tennis facility is by far the number 1 facility in the country. No question about it. As far as the canopy on the outside courts:

It would cast terrible shadows. Terrible. If you look around the country almost all the outdoor courts do not have canopies because of this. Also, there is no real need because our season runs from Feb-April so the heat for fans is not really a factor.

That is simply just for quick personal use before or after matches. The team works out in the football weight room. The fact they have any weight room at all for only tennis is unique

Only the front where they took that picture. The rest of the building is metal just like ours. Plus our inside is nicer than theirs

They may have added stucco. When I first went there it was simple metal. Regardless, what counts is the inside. And ours is unreal. Trust me I would love to bash the admin for all the years they screwed us with their cheap arse ways. But they did right with the new facility


Yeh it looks like they added brick siding to surround the metal structure

At least the worst part of the building is somewhat hidden. You can't see if from Nicholson but if you park at the box you can.

They advanced to ITA Quarterfinals today...top 8 in the country.

Look for them to compete for NCAA title in the next 2-3 years with a #1 recruiting class coming in.

Great coaches.
