I was wondering if we could get a group of Tennisopolis members to go to the great Indian Wells tournament. If we can agree on a day or two, it would be really cool to hang out and have a ball.
The dates are March 5-18. It is free on the first day. There's lots of food vendors, beer garden, tennis equipment and clothing vendors, opportunities to get player signatures (I got Laver and Nadal) test out racquets on a real court at Tennis Warehouse tent, fast gun radar, nice picnic type grass in front of a giant video monitor...
Mark Mayor, the Tennisopolis creator, will be there and we're looking to have a hit on a local tennis court as well. Love to play doubles with a bunch of people!

Permalink Reply by Chin Be on March 8, 2012 at 3:24am I have a friend in Dallas heading there Tuesday the 12th until Friday. He might need company if Dave does not show.
I lived in Dallas and went to high school there, still have parents and family there. I am a short drive from the tourny and will be there the 17th and the 18th and would like to attend an evening session next week sometime. Maybe a few of us can meet your friend from Dallas! Pass on the info......

If you are going to the big tournament and want to stay in touch with other 'opolis members and stay in tune with what we are up to, join this group. I'll keep you posted on a group meet-up or two on the grounds via this group.
