Envisioned by the talented efforts of the Rossetti Architectural firm and constructed by General
Contractor Agsten Construction with Site Design by Terradon Engineering Services, Center Court at Creekside’s architecture references the rich architectural history of The Greenbrier campus through the creation of a colonnade at the stadium entrances and other historical references. The unique U-shaped bowl takes advantage of panoramic views of the natural surroundings. It also creates a special opportunity to establish the multi-functional plaza, west of the court, to accommodate hospitality tents with immediate access to the court. This flexible space can also be used for additional grandstand seating capacity. For a premier tennis event, the facility can offer up to 400 corporate loge seats. The site is also designed for additional concession spaces and will be broadcast-ready with camera pits and a camera area. Professional-grade lighting will also be used.
The rivalry will continue on June 20th, 2015 as The Greenbrier unveils its new, state-of-the-art tennis stadium, Center Court at Creekside. Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi will go head-to-head at America’s newest professional outdoor stadium. Tickets for the Grand Opening match between Sampras and Agassi are $60 for the Upper Level and $120 for the Lower Level. Gates open at 12 pm and the match begins at 2pm. Tickets for the Grand Opening concert will be sold separately. Earth, Wind, & Fire concert tickets are $80 for the Upper Level, $100 for the Lower Level and $150 for Court-Seating.
