There's already a buzz of excitement around the upcoming Veolia Cincinnati Showcase presented by Six Zero (PPA Tour) even though it's still three-and-a-half weeks away.

That's because the host venue, Lindner Family Tennis Center, in Mason, OH underwent a game-changing $260 million, campus-wide renovation designed to enhance the fan and player experience alike.

The renovations are garnering major praise from those attending the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament, which is currently being staged at the facility.

"It includes a new 2,000-seat sunken stadium; 10 additional competition courts (expanding the total to 31); a 56,000-square-foot, two-story player center with dining, wellness, and fitness spaces; a permanent, shaded fan plaza with extensive landscaping to create a park-like feel; and modernized stadium facades and upgraded hospitality and media areas," wrote Michele Laufik, Senior Contributing Editor for BizBash.

Pickleball and padel courts were also installed as well.

Laufik confirmed that the site was expanded from 20 to 40 acres over the course of the last 11 months, making it larger than the French Open site at Roland-Garros in Paris.

"For us, this was an opportunity to not only meet these new tournament standards, but to create a world-class venue and environment that truly elevates the total fan and player experience," said Elizabeth Desrosiers, director of marketing and communications for the Cincinnati Open. "We were very intentional about every detail of the work and have created a reimagined, park-like site that preserves the intimacy and accessibility that has become a hallmark of the Cincinnati Open."

The Veolia Cincinnati Showcase presented by Six Zero runs from Monday, September 8 through Sunday, September 14.
