James T. & Sarah C. Eyre Courts
A significant upgrade to the CNU Tennis Courts was completed in the Summer of 2015, as the Christopher Newport Department of Athletics unveiled six new outdoor courts. In addition to the six new courts, the six existing courts were refinished with all new playing surfaces while the fences were replaced and furbished with "CNU Tennis" windscreens. A comprehensive lighting system by Musco Sports Lighting was also installed, allowing student-athletes access to the facility later in the evening and creating more flexibility with scheduling tennis events.
