When you walk into the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells tennis center you see the vision of two men and their team realized over 30 years of excellence. Charlie Passarell and Raymond Moore have created what Andre Agassi calls "THE GRAND SLAM OF THE WEST." Apart from having hundreds of the top players in the world, the atmosphere is full of possibility, hope and excitement
which inspire people to get involved and come back year after year. That explains why their volunteer army exceeds 750 people, why tennis legends like Jack Kramer, Bud Collins, Vic Braden and many others converge here each year to share their life experiences.

As a result we get to go and enjoy one of the most personal and intimate environments professional sports has to offer. "In the past couple weeks I covered Nascar, boxing, and basketball, and this tournament is the most inclusive for the fans that I have ever experienced in sports writing," said a local newspaper reporter. When you have the press, the fans and the players singing your praises something is happening here.
