In a few months, pickleball could add $10 million to the Dallas-area economy. | Opinion
Years ago, pickleball — a mix between tennis, badminton and pingpong — was mostly popular among senior citizens. It’s easy to learn, is played on a small court, and can be fun for people of all, let’s say, athletic ability.
It’s also become highly competitive and lucrative. Among the sports celebrities investing in pro teams are Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, former NFL quarterbacks Drew Brees and Tom Brady, NBA players LeBron James and Kevin Durant, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Model Heidi Klum and actress Eva Longoria are also investing in teams, as is motivational speaker Brene Brown.
Meanwhile, Brookhaven, owned by the national country club owner Invited, is busy getting the 66-year-old club in shape. And Farmers Branch officials are working to figure out the tricky questions of parking and potential spikes in crime. Economic Development director Allison Cook said the city expects a big boost in hotel occupancy taxes from not only hotel rooms, but also potentially short-term rentals of homes in the area.
