You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Lindner Family Tennis Center''' is a tennis facility in [[Mason, Ohio]].<ref>((cite web|title=Travel Information|url=http://www.cincytennis.com/events/travel_info/?intloc=headernavsub|access-date=1 September 2013))</ref> It is the home of the [[Cincinnati Masters|Western & Southern Open]] and is owned by Tennis for Charity, Inc. The grounds include four permanent tennis stadia (Center Court, Grandstand Court, Court 3 and Court 10), distinguishing the center as the only world tennis venue, apart from the four [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] venues, with more than two permanent stadia. '''Center Court''', built in 1981 and expanded many times since, has a capacity of 11,400. Grandstand Court, built in 1995, has a capacity of 5,000. Court 3, built in 2010, seats 4,000. Court 10, built in 1997 and originally named Court 3, has a capacity of 2,000.

Its name, The Lindner Family Tennis Center, pays tribute to [[Lindner family|the family]] of a former tournament sponsor, the late Cincinnati financier, [[Carl Lindner, Jr.]]

Browning Day of [[Indianapolis]] has been the architectural firm of record for the Center since its conception.

==History==
The location became home to the tournament now known as the Western & Southern Open (or Cincinnati Masters) in 1979 when tournament organizers grew weary of perennial Ohio River flooding at its venue of the time, the [[Coney Island, Cincinnati, Ohio|Coney Island]] amusement park. One of the tournament sponsors, [[Taft Broadcasting]], owned the [[Kings Island Amusement Park]] in Mason, as well as the [[Golf Center at Kings Island]], which was located on land directly across Interstate 71 from the park. When the chairman of Taft Broadcasting, Charles Mechem, suggested the tournament move to land at the Golf Center, tournament organizers, led by Paul M. Flory, agreed.

Four courts of DecoTurf II were initially installed at the new location, and the bleachers used at Coney Island were shipped up I-71 and placed around one of them to form Center Court. Two years later, those bleachers were removed and the first phase of construction on that court began. Enhancements to seating and amenities on Center Court have been made nearly every year since.

One of the biggest expansions came in 1987 when the original West Building was added, creating working space for players and media and luxury suites for fans. An expansion in 1990 added more suites and increased capacity on Center Court to 10,000. Construction in 1998 added two additional courts, bringing the total number of courts at the Tennis Center to 10.

In 2010, the Tennis Center was enhanced with a new "West Building," now known as The Paul M. Flory Player Center in honor of the 36-year patriarch of the tournament. The new ((convert|52000|sqft|m2)) Player Center added space not only for players, but for media and fans as well. It is approximately twice as high as the previous West Building, rising ((convert|85|ft|m)) above ground level and ((convert|97|ft|m)) above the court level.  A canopy extends over the west stands providing more covered seating.  Total Center Court seating capacity was raised from 10,500 to 11,400 after the renovation.

In 2011 the grounds were expanded by more than 40% and six courts were added (increasing the total number of courts from 10 to 16), including Court 3 which serves as the third television court for the tournament. The expansion also included a new front entrance, entry plaza and ticket office. Harry Ewers & Sons, Inc. was chosen to construct and maintain the facility tennis courts.

In 2012, the tournament expanded the food court and exhibit areas and also enhanced the northern entrance.

==Other events==

The venue also hosts the [[Atlantic 10 Conference]] Tennis Championships and the [[Ohio Athletic Conference]] Tennis Championships, and has hosted the [[Association of Volleyball Professionals]] Cincinnati professional sand volleyball tournament, special events such as concerts and Hospice of Cincinnati's annual fundraising event, and numerous national and regional high school tennis tournaments.

It has also hosted the [[Cincinnati AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Championship Series]].

Since the 2015–2016 school year, the Ohio High School Athletic Association state championship tournament has been held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.<ref name="Warren County Awarded 2015-16 OHSAA Tennis State Championships">((cite web|url=http://www.ohsaa.org/news/sports/2014-10-16WarrenCountyCVBRelease.pdf|title=Warren County Awarded 2015–16 OHSAA Tennis State Championships|access-date=2015-09-24|publisher=WCCVB|author=Scott Hutchinson|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304114209/http://www.ohsaa.org/news/sports/2014-10-16WarrenCountyCVBRelease.pdf|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead))</ref>  The tournament was previously held at [[Ohio State University]] and the Elysium Tennis Center.
