Memphis Open Tennis Tournament Relocating To Nassau Coliseum
Professional tennis is coming to the newly renovated Nassau Coliseum.
The ATP announced Monday that the Memphis Open, the tour’s only indoor event in the U.S., will relocate to the arena beginning in February 2018.
GF Sports, a live events and sports entertainment company that owns the men’s tournament, and Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, which manages the Coliseum, partnered to bring the event to Long Island. It is said to be a long-term agreement, although the exact terms have not been announced.
“This event diversifies our programming mix at NYCB LIVE’s Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and further delivers on our promise to bring major sporting events back to Long Island,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment.
