This podcast contains comments from the July 9, 2024 Bryan city council workshop meeting.
August 1st marks one year since the Bryan city council and Texas A&M agreed to build an indoor facility at Midtown Park that will be used by the university's tennis teams.
An interlocal agreement (ILA) requires completion of the building by August of 2025.

During Tuesday's Bryan council workshop meeting (July 9), mayor Bobby Gutierrez was revealed that there is no final design.
The reason is that proposals so far have exceeded the $17 million dollar budget.
Deputy city manager Hugh Walker tells WTAW News that various options currently under consideration essentially have the same court and floor space.
General manager Jamie Cox of Legends Events Center, who will also be managing the new building, told the council that they will still be able to recruit additional events when the building is not being used by A&M.
A&M will pay the city a fee as part of a 30 year interlocal agreement.
In October 2023, the council hired the same company that was in charge of building the Legends Events Center and the same company that manages Legends for the city to design, build, and manage the second building.
