By the end of 1989, the Taube Family Tennis Stadium was built to replace the former one and contained the men’s and women’s locker rooms, office space, and indoor practice range. Over the years, the program has expanded the stadium to accommodate the needs of the players, coach, staff, and Stanford fans.
A few years after the old stadium was replaced, program planners installed new video equipment. This equipment was later updated to include video feeds from seven cameras. Moreover, this particular installation allowed for players and coaches to review matches through the video center.
The Taube Family Tennis Center would not actually be completed until 1997. Upon completion, the stadium could hold 2,500 tennis fans, champion Plexi-cushion indoor court, and a considerable amount of office space. A kitchenette, restrooms, and storage space made up the Koret and Flugel Family Conference Rooms.
Two years later, the Phil and Penny Knight scoreboard was installed. This allowed Stanford to deliver live, updated scoring for the 11 courts and the internet. Subsequent donations went toward providing lighting for the stadium and other improvements.
In the following years, the stadium saw other improvements. In 2004, the Taube South Complex was added, which was comprised of a scoreboard, lighted courts, and permanent spectator seating. A few years later, permanent bleachers (200-seat) were added outside the stadium and a wireless system was installed to allow umpires to convey information across the 17 courts.
These improvements reflect the program’s commitment to providing its player world-class facilities equipped with modern tools. In fact, the US Tennis Courts and Track Builders recognized the Taube Complex with the Tennis Facility Award in 2003.
