Boas Indoor Tennis Center
The Boas Indoor Tennis Center -- also known as "The Bubbles" -- serves as the alternate home facility for Boise State men's and women's tennis when weather calls for indoor practice and competition.Â
- Six lighted courts with intimate spectator seating (three courts in each structure)
- Locker rooms
- Athletic training room
- Team lounge
- Film room
- Equipment room and stringing station
- Coaches' offices
- The facility is named after Jerry Boas -- a prominent Boise area businessman -- who was the major donor for the construction of the center in 1990.Â
- The complex, which opened in the spring of 1991, originally included two large inflatable bubbles, separated by a central 3,000-square-foot building with locker rooms, coaches offices and a training room.
- The first event held on site was the 1991 Big Sky Conference Women's Tennis Championship.
- The indoor center is one of few in the region located on a collegiate campus and as a result, has seen hundreds of matches featuring numerous colleges and universities in the Pacific Northwest area over the years.
- The facility served as the co-host to the 2003 Western Athletic Conference Men's and Women's Tennis Championship when weather forced the event inside.
- In 1999 the facility experienced an addition, which would house the new women's soccer program that began competing in 1998. The addition included: new offices for soccer and both tennis programs, a soccer specific locker room, new training room, conference rooms, equipment room, computer lab and lounge.
