WHAT DOES SARNI MEAN FOR PENN STATE TENNIS?
- It means hosting major collegiate championships. Penn State can now bid on such tournaments as the ECACs, Rolex, NCAA Regionals and so on. Penn State hosts the annual Penn State Fall Classic.
- It means night matches under the stadium lights. Penn State can now schedule evening matches, which are a big crowd favorite. The stadium lighting is state-of-the-art.
- It means great visibility on campus. Located in the central part of campus and adjacent to the Bigler Sports Fields, Sarni will be a highly visible facility for the entire Penn State community. This will encourage the Penn State faculty, staff and students as well as the Centre County community to catch the tennis fever by watching practices and attending matches.
- It means tradition. Through a combination of display cases, banners, etc., the Sarni Center will proudly recognize the achievements of past players, NCAA qualifiers, All-Big Ten picks, Academic All-Americans and so on.
- To the players, it means "excitement." Banners flying high above the stadium court, the beautiful Nittany Mountains and the Bryce Jordan Center as the backdrop and the majestic team clubhouse overlooking the courts...what more could a player ask for in a practice and competition site! Sarni represents a big-time facility in a superb location.
