Lindner Family Tennis Center

That number also nearly double what it was going back just a couple previous years.

Thanks to the opens big expansion going from 8 to 14 days, which also included a quarter billion dollars worth of renovations at that Linder Family Tennis Center.

Multi-year contract renewals were made as well with half a dozen cornerstone partners like Credit One Bank, Fifth Third, Great American Insurance, Kroger, P&G, and of course Western and Southern.

Those sponsors all got naming rights to individual days of the Cincinnati Open along with some specifically tailored benefits.

You got to see both these teams play in a preseason game at the Carousel Horse Invitational a couple weeks ago.

It looked awesome at the Linder Family Tennis Center.

Tell me a little bit about what you saw there from a lot of the new guys that they added.

Specifically, Xavier, Mike DiWolko, almost a triple-double.

It's an exhibition.

I get it.

But, you know, overall, when you go up to the Linder Family Tennis Center and you're playing games outside, you're there for the spectacle.

You're there for the fun.

Let's get into a college basketball segment real quick, Skinny.

Last week we had the, uh, CareSource Invitational at the Lindner Family Tennis Center up in Mason, which...

Have you been to the renovated tennis facility?

No.

It was a four-team doubleheader between Ohio State and Cincinnati and then Xavier and Dayton.

They did it down in the Lindner Family Tennis Center down in Mason, which is where they hold the Cincinnati Open every year.

It was a perfect day weather-wise.

But just the event itself, I walked out of there and thought, this is something they should do all the time.

And they go and they beat Ohio State.

Yeah, it was a cool event at the CareSource thing up there at the Linder Family Tennis Center.

I did not.

I was on the air.

Kind of expected that to a degree with it being a 3:00 PM tip for that first game.

But an awesome opportunity for, for all four of these teams to, to play the outdoor games at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.

I thought they did a phenomenal job putting on the event, and hopefully this is just the start of something.

Yeah.

It was a somewhat late arriving crowd.

He joined us earlier in the show.

And man, oh, man, we have the CareSource Invitational today at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason.

I'm excited for this.

We got college hoops in October outside with great weather.

Make sure you check him out on YouTube as well, with a ton of stuff, like this right here, the time lapse of getting the basketball court-

... together and ready to go for this invitational at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.

Just awesome, awesome stuff.
