The '''Indianapolis Tennis Center''', originally known as the Indianapolis Sports Center, was a tennis stadium complex with additional outdoor and indoor tennis courts on the campus of [[Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis]] (IUPUI) in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]]. The stadium, which seated 10,000 spectators, was built in 1979. At that time it was the venue for the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships tournament. It was also the site of the [[Tennis at the 1987 Pan American Games|tennis events]] for the [[1987 Pan American Games]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/07/29/Pan-Am-Games-Schedule/6552554529600/|date=July 29, 1987|title=Pan Am Games Schedule|website=United Press International, Inc.|access-date=April 19, 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
When originally constructed, the {{convert|13|acre}} complex included 14 outdoor courts, all of which, including the stadium court, had a clay surface. In 1989 an indoor facility featuring six [[DecoTurf]] Ii courts was added, and the stadium court and other outdoor courts were converted from clay to DecoTurf.<ref name=IUPUIJags>{{cite web|title=Indianapolis Tennis Center|url=http://www.iupuijags.com/sports/2007/12/20/tennis_center.aspx|website=IUPUI Athletics|access-date=December 17, 2015}}</ref> Due to the change in playing surface, the name of the tournament was changed to the RCA Tennis Championships. The name of the tournament changed again to the [[Indianapolis Tennis Championships]] in 2007 due to the loss of the [[RCA]] sponsorship.<br />
<br />
Changes to the date of the tournament to a less desirable point in the [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] tour combined with the loss of sponsorship resulted in the tournament being sold and moved to [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. Maintenance costs due to the loss of tournament income plus IUPUI's need for the land for future development led to the closure of the facility in August 2010 and its subsequent demolition that year.<ref name=IBJ>{{cite web|last1=Schoettle|first1=Anthony|title=UPDATE: Tennis Center set for summer demolition|url=http://www.ibj.com/articles/19687-update-tennis-center-set-for-summer-demolition|publisher=Indianapolis Business Journal|access-date=December 17, 2015|date=April 30, 2010}}</ref><br />
