It was fitting that the 2017 NCAA tennis championships were held at the University of Georgia's Dan Magill Tennis Complex. College football has the Big House and Bryant-Denny Stadium, and college basketball has Allen Fieldhouse and Cameron Indoor Stadium, and college tennis has Dan Magill. Both grand and intimate, the venue sits tucked in the center of the UGA sports facilities. A clubhouse resembling a stately Southern mansion is ringed by a dozen courts. Thanks to a donation from Kenny Rogers, the College Tennis Hall of Fame also resides on the grounds.
