The Los Angeles Tennis Center Located on the UCLA campus nestled just west of Pauley Pavilion and south of Drake Stadium is the impressive Los Angeles Tennis Center: home to both UCLA men’s and women’s tennis teams. The LATC was the fi rst large-scale outdoor tennis stadium opened in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and was offi cially dedicated on May 20, 1984, just in time to host the 1984 NCAA Women’s Tennis Cham- pionships and the 1984 Olympic Games. Since then, the LATC has been site of several top collegiate and professional tournaments. The NCAA Women’s Tennis Championships returned to the LATC in 1987 and ’88, while the NCAA Men’s Tennis Championships called the LATC home in 1997. On the professional level, the LATC has been a regular stop of the ATP Tour for many years. The fi rst tournament held at the LATC, the Union 76 Pacifi c Southwest Open, featured former Bruins Jimmy Con- Men’s tennis team room nors and Eliot Teltscher in the fi nals. The tournament, renamed The LA Open, continues to thrive at the LATC each summer. The popularity of the LATC continues to grow beyond the tennis world. During 1997 alone, it hosted the World Beach Volleyball Championships and several MTV Rock ‘N Jock events. The LATC features eight lighted, hard-surface courts, a 5,800-permanent seat grandstand around the three main courts and a two-level clubhouse. At full capacity, the LATC can accommodate 10,000 spectators. The clubhouse contains locker rooms, coaches’ offi ces and team rooms for both the UCLA men’s and women’s teams, as well as the offi ce of the Southern California Tennis Association (SCTA). The second level of the clubhouse features a 4,000-square foot indoor dining area and kitchen. Center court is called the Times-Mirror Center Court. The stadium is named the Straus Stadium and Clubhouse. The most recent addition to the LATC came in 2005 when the Greiner Family Scoreboard was added to the back courts. Prior to that, the Budge Off er Family Scoreboard was added to the stadium courts in 2000. Both scoreboards enable fans to follow the action on every court from either location. The newest Front entrance to the LATC project at the LATC was completed just this past January, as both teams received a complete renovation of their locker rooms.
