It was the former home (2001–2007) to the ATP Tour U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships. Gallery Furniture Stadium, located on the club's premises, was the home of the Houston Wranglers of World TeamTennis. The stadium also hosted the Tennis Masters Cup in 2003 and 2004. Recent changesThe club was unique in that it offered courts of all the Grand Slam surfaces: Rebound Ace (Australian Open), red clay (French Open), grass (Wimbledon), and DecoTurf (US Open). The clay courts were the only courts in the United States that were identical to those at Roland Garros. The grass courts were designed and installed under the supervision of David Kimpton of the Queen's Club. There were 46 courts in total, including 10 indoors. Gallery Furniture Stadium had a capacity of 5,240 spectators. In December 2006, the club management decided to change the fundamentals and become an all-around sports and family club instead of a strictly tennis club. It converted its grass courts into a first-class soccer field and the red clay into swimming pools and more hard courts. The current facilities include 17 outdoor hard courts, 9 outdoor clay courts, and 4 indoor hard courts.[1] See also
