In August of 2023, the Bryan city council agreed to partner with Texas A&M to build an indoor tennis center at Midtown Park. Construction was supposed to be completed by August 2025. Proposals to extend the construction deadline and enter a design contract were pulled from the agenda of the council’s November 12th business meeting. City manager Kean Register made that announcement after councilman Ray Arrington asked to discuss the item during the council’s November 12th workshop meeting. Register said the council could consider a proposed amended contract at their December business meeting. Click below to hear comments from Ray Arrington and Kean Register: The proposal that was not considered called for extending the construction deadline to June of 2026, based on construction starting by February 2025. The amended contract would have also increased the project cost from $17 million to $18.25 million dollars. The increase in the construction cost is due in part to adding 145 parking spaces, which will also be used by visitors to Midtown Park’s Legends Events Center. A&M’s share of the cost did not change. And the project budget does not include the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
