The 13,800-seat stadium court is the centerpiece of the Tennis Center at Crandon Park facility, home of the Miami Masters in Miami, Florida since 1987. The Miami Masters uses twelve courts for competition courts, plus six practice courts. The facility is also home to two European red clay courts, four American green clay courts, and two grass courts. During the majority of the year when the Miami Masters is not on site, the Crandon Park Tennis Center is a Miami-Dade County park that is open to the public year-round. Cliff Drysdale Tennis is located at the tennis center and offers year-round clinics, camps, and private lessons. All aforementioned playing surfaces, including the stadium court, are available for public use.
The Tennis Center at Crandon Park is the third home of the Miami Masters. It began in Delray Beach in 1985 and moved to Boca Raton in 1986, before permanently settling in Key Biscayne in 1987.[1] The Tennis Center is also home to the United States Tennis Association's player development program headquarters and the 16 and 18 under Junior Orange Bowl.
During the 2013 Miami Masters, plans were unveiled to fully renovate Crandon Park Tennis Center which would include building three permanent show courts.[2][3] Legal issues regarding restrictions on the Park's usage have so far prevented the plan's implementation.[4][5]
