I think this will expand local play, maybe bring bigger tournaments to Auburn.
We're waiting on the surveyor to complete his work and as soon as he does, we can begin to sell these plots.

It's not just a celebration for the university, but a celebration for the townspeople.
It's potentially a huge economic draw. We have a good track record of hosting events and this will enable us to bid for regional tournaments.
