The BNP Paribas Open has been named the tournament of the year by the players and the facilities at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden are now arguably the best in the sport. Particularly after the latest year-long renovation that includes a refurbished Stadium 1. Now the second-largest tennis stadium in the country — with a seating capacity of 16,100 — the upgrades will be unveiled at this year’s event.
By incorporating Wolfgang Puck’s Michelin Star rated Spago into the stadium, it will have a fine dining option, like Chop House and Nobu in Stadium 2, and will mix world class food with world class tennis.
Tennis Garden officials partnered with Levy Restaurants, Ian Orr, the regional vice president of operations for Levy, said the Indian Wells project was a “monumental task,” largely because they had to do it all in less than a year.
“It’s pretty impressive what we’ve put together,” Orr said. “You’ve got to compliment Larry Ellison, Indian Wells Tennis Garden and Desert Champions. We worked some big miracles together, along with the construction companies and designers.”
In order to cater to a sophisticated tennis crowd, Orr and his team had the task of partnering certain chefs and food options that would work well at a Southern California tennis tournament. The concessions were designed individually – which alone took five months – and a massive team was put in place to pull it all off.
This year the tournament promises to be one of the best, see the schedule below to find the match you want to see
