Pickleball Venue Opens in Former Department Store

All right. Meanwhile, a new pick, a ball venue has just opened up in Connecticut in a most unlikely location. Here's an inside look. The old sack off fifth in Stanford is now 42,000 square feet of 13 pickle ball courts called Pickle Ball America. We just want people to experience it, feel that they are comfortable with the space, the ceilings, the columns, the flooring and just have fun. This is one of the largest indoor pickleball venues in America and it opened today, starting a trend of converting former stores into many happy returns. A lot of factors outside that people don't want to deal with. So then they want to come in here. We're going to hit drop shots. You've heard of that? Well, the slang for that is dink, 30 minute lessons are free here. This will tell you anyone can play. It is something that people see it as very social. So now it's a smaller court and it brings everybody down to a level where you can actually play. 14 more courts are coming upstairs and hey, pickle heads don't miss this summer, we might see some of the top pickle ball players in America coming here and the official ribbon cutting is September 14 people love him, pick a ball. Thanks to Mark SUDOL for that package.
