Why 8 tennis courts at the Harlem Armory; why not 6 or 4?
Having less than 8 courts sets the tennis center up for failure. In order to have a viable tennis center, you need enough courts to accommodate the need. During peak times at the Harlem Tennis Center (HTC), people have to wait hours for an available court. If there are less than 8 courts, the tennis-playing public would go elsewhere or not play at all. At that point, the HTC would no longer be a viable tennis center.
