The Penn State tennis facilities are first-rate. In addition to the Penn State Indoor Tennis Center which houses four Decoturf courts, a state-of-the-art outdoor facility opened in September of 1998. The second-to-none facility was named the facility of the year just a year after its completion. The Sarni Tennis Center is a $2.3 million facility that features seven lighted Plexi-cushion courts including a stadium court with seating for 1000 fans, a team clubhouse with locker rooms, meeting and video rooms and a racket stringing area. Plans are underway to purchase a major scoreboard to enhance the facility. Vincent and Sandra Sarni got the ball rolling for the facility with their gift of $675,000. Vincent Sarni, a retired chairman and chief executive officer of PPG Industries, and his wife are tennis enthusiasts. Neither of the Sarni is a Penn State graduate, although they have been supporters of academic and athletic programs at the University and both have had children attend Penn State. In addition to the gift from the Sarni family, approximately $500,000 in University funding went into the project, which will also provide for student use of the facility.
