History
- The
11-court Taube Family Tennis Center is home to both men's
and women's tennis teams. Originally built in 1926 at a
cost of $62,500, it has undergone many renovations over
the years. The most recent additions added 1,500 seats and
a championship indoor court. These were completed in August
of 1997. The south end of the stadium is adjacent to the
Arrillaga Family Sports Center. In the fall of 1999, the
Phil and Penelope Knight Scoreboard was installed, replacing
the old stadium court scoreboard. Taube is pronounced Toe-Bee.
