Penn State opened the new Sarni Tennis Center in September of1998, and held their first night match against Bloomsburg in April,1999.

The Sarni Tennis Center is a $2.3 million facility that includesseven lighted courts, a stadium court with seating for 1,000 fans, ateam clubhouse with locker rooms, meeting and video rooms and aracket stringing area. The Sarni Tennis Center received the UnitedStates Tennis Association (USTA) Outstanding Tennis Facility Awardin 1999.

WHAT DOES SARNI MEAN FOR PENN STATE TENNIS?It means night matches under the stadium lights. Penn State can now

schedule evening matches, which are a big crowd favorite. Thestadium lighting is state-of-the-art.

• It means tradition. Through a combination of display cases, banners,etc., the Sarni Center will proudly recognize the achievements of pastplayers, NCAA qualifiers, All-BigTen picks, Academic All-Americansand so on.

• It means great visibility on campus. Located in the central part ofcampus and adjacent to the Bigler Sports Fields, Sarni will be ahighly visible facility for the entire Penn State community. This willencourage the Penn State faculty, staff, and students as well as theCentre County community to catch the tennis fever by watchingpractices and attending matches.

• To the players, it means “excitement.” Banners flying high above thestadium court, the beautiful Nittany Mountains and the BryceJordan Center as the backdrop and the majestic team clubhouseoverlooking the courts ... what more could a player ask for in apractice and competition site! Sarni represents a big-time facility ina superb location.

THE MAKING OF THE DREAMVincent and Sandra Sarni started the ball rolling with their gift of

$675,000 to theconstruction of the $2.3million facility. “TheSarni familydemonstrated itsextraordinary support ofthe University and thetennis program throughthis marvelous gift,” saidPenn State athleticdirector Tim Curley.“Their gift enabled us totake this project from concept to reality.”

Vincent Sarni, a retired chairman and chief executive officer ofPPG Industries, and his wife are tennis enthusiasts. Neither of theSarnis is a Penn State graduate, although both have been supportersof academic and athletic programs at the University and both havehad 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 alsoprovide for student use of the facility.
