History

In April 2021, the Charleston Open marked the groundbreaking for the center's new main stadium. After some portions of the original stadium were demolished, the new seating sections were built along with a new 70,000-square-foot, four-story Stage House for all players' facilities that is topped by a new canopy providing shade and rigging capacity for shows. The renovations expanded the stadium's seating capacity from 7,000 to 11,000 patrons. Additional upgrades were made to the facility's lighting, landscaping, concession offerings, and bathroom facilities. The renovation was estimated at and funded mostly by Charleston Tennis owners Ben Navarro and his wife, Kelly, with another budgeted by the city of Charleston over the following years. In July 2021, the
