Tennis Center summer hours

Tall weeds on north side of tennis building

Litter, weeds and quack grass

As you can see, the doors are locked unless you have an appointment. I guess they are finding out operating a facility like this isn’t very lucrative when you only have 102 members. Heck, they can’t even hire a teenager to pick up the garbage and mow the weeds at the joint. Better call code enforcement, those weeds look noxious and that garbage could be considered a ‘public nuisance’. I wonder how long before Great Life buys this place on a auction?

10 Thoughts on “Another $500K wasted taxpayer investment for the ‘specials’ – Huether Match Pointe Indoor Tennis Center

    Just another city funded private business without a viable business plan. This from the ‘Business Man’ mayor and his lazy wife. I’m wondering how long it will be before an insider developer buys city hotels for a dollar.

  2. Not the same scenario at the iceplex. They have been running camps and open ice all summer and it has been fantastic.

    So, I suppose the aquatics center will also be underwater. Sorry, Monday morning fun pun.

  4. Karma, that’s great news. You also have to realize, hockey/ice skating is a lot more popular then the sport of choice for rich house wives (who I hear prefer playing at Woodlake because it is cheaper).

    Great for the iceplex. It’s more a midwest sport. Better oriented for youth. Think of the sales tax revenue for equipment. I could give a puck about tennis.

    Hockey also had a business plan. Tennis just had MMM. The fact he had to pony up for naming rights should have been the final clue that place was doomed.

    Wait til Lloyd properties has a for sale sign on it. Selling off MMM legacy already. That would be funny.

  8. Well…at least MMM’s wife can always get a prime parking spot and her choice of courts.

    “Build it and they will come”, if they exist and can afford it. Oh wait, that was about baseball, concerts, or something else…

    Just imagine the air conditioning and heating cost for this empty aircraft hanger.
