The city and the university will split the $851,943 spent so far on the project. Both agree to drop the center, according to the termination agreement, due to “significant and increasing construction costs, including a shift in the project location and an extensive design process”. Attempts have been made since July of 2023 to design the indoor tennis center building and keep it within a $17 million dollar budget. Tennis was going to be the primary function of what the city considered to be a second multipurpose building to compliment the Legends Events Center. The facility would have allowed the university to compete for SEC and NCAA tournaments. The termination agreement also says the city has already ended contracts to build and operate the building. At the time of the July 2023 interlocal agreement (ILA), the two story building would have had space for six tennis courts and could also accommodate 12 pickleball courts and six volleyball courts. A&M would have paid the city up to $675,000 dollars a year for 30 years to operate and maintain the center that would be located between Big Shots and the Legends Events Center. At the time of the ILA, the center was projected to generate a net profit in its first year of almost $37,000 dollars, climbing to almost $58,000 dollars in its fifth year of operation. The city also projected an economic impact of almost $3 million dollars in its first year, climbing to $4.4 million in its fifth year. Part of the economic impact formula was projecting 7,333 additional hotel room nights in year one, climbing to 9,630 room nights in year five.
