Indian Wells Tennis Garden marches on with site expansion in time for 2014 BNP Paribas tournament

The building of the new Stadium 2 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California is still ongoing and is on track to finish prior to the start of the 2014 BNP Paribas Open.

“This BNP Paribas Open and Indian Wells Tennis Garden ‘Topping Out’ ceremony is a celebration of the hard work that has been put into getting the structure where it is today,” said Raymond Moore, CEO of the BNP Paribas Open and IWTG.

“However, this ceremony is also a landmark in the construction process, signifying that the home stretch is quickly approaching. The new Stadium 2 will be an outstanding facility for our fans come next March, when the tennis stars and fans from around the world descend upon Indian Wells,” he added.

The BNP Paribas Open will take place from March 3 to 16, 2014. This WTA-ATP event is one of the most prestigious tennis events in the world.

The new Stadium 2 can accomodate 8,000 seats and a large enough space to house three restaurants.
