Scheduled to open this June for the start of the regular season, The INTENNSE Arena will serve as the official home of the INTENNSE Professional Tennis League, bringing a new level of energy, innovation, and a new fan experience to the sport of tennis.
Built for the modern sports fan, INTENNSE has re-engineered tennis with a team-based format, clocked matches, simplified scoring, liberated fans and college-style player drafts. By integrating professional, amateur, and youth levels into its events, INTENNSE delivers a faster, more interactive, and fan-centric experience that reshapes how tennis is played and enjoyed.
Electric Owl Studios is the ideal partner for the launch of The INTENNSE Arena. It has redefined studio production through its holistic integration of eco-conscious features and operational efficiency. As the world’s first LEED Gold-certified purpose-built film studio, this 313,000-square-foot Atlanta facility combines six soundstages with production offices and workshops optimized for low environmental impact. Accessibility is central to its design, with direct access to the Indian Creek MARTA station and free shuttles connecting to public transit hubs. [INTENNSE]
Renovations at Dietz Memorial Stadium in the city’s downtown have been completed after a $22 million facelift.
The project was kick-started by a $2.5 million award from the state’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative. The upgrades included interior and exterior Grandstand renovations with upgraded locker rooms and athletics facilities, new track and turf field, greener and more accessible parking areas, new concession areas and restroom facilities, a new scoreboard and LED stadium lighting.
If you've ever wondered why pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports in America, all you need to do is spend a few minutes on the court with Rusty Bryant.
"Good serve!" he calls out. "Great ball, Sammy!" Moments later, he smiles and says, "Now we're in trouble."
It's not trash talk. It's joy.
Bryant, who lives in Riverton, isn't just playing pickleball. He's connecting, laughing, having fun and maybe sneaking in a little cardio, too.
"This is what I look forward to," Rusty said. "You put in work with the family, work at work, and then this is my off time. I love it." [KSL.com]
