The Yale tennis facilities are easily among the best in the world. The outdoor courts provide a perfect tennis background with a combination of pine trees and Yale blue wind screens surrounding each court. Picturesque silhouettes of the famous Yale Bowl and Walter Camp Gate can be seen from the entire outdoor venue, which also includes a beautiful courtyard with picnic benches and a lush grass surface that is outlined by a new brick surface.
The complex consists of 22 outdoor Deco Turf II courts, five outdoor clay courts, and a 15,000-seat tennis stadium with one court. The Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament, the men's and women's final U.S. Open Series event, is played on the outdoor courts each August. The stadium, known as the Connecticut Tennis Center, is the fourth largest in the world and third largest in the United States. Only the sites of the U.S. Open and the French Open have larger seating capacities than the CTC.
The indoor facility, Cullman Courts, will undergo a major renovation and expansion beginning this summer. The new 8-court facility will be re-named the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center, and will be the premiere facility in the Northeast. In addition to housing 8 indoor courts, the new building will feature a new lobby, team locker rooms & meeting room, and a plenty of spectator seating.
