In the early 1970s, Elvis took up racquetball and enjoyed it so much that he decided to have his own court built. The personal sports complex, completed in 1975, included a weight training area on the ground floor, a full-size racquetball court, and a Jacuzzi and dressing rooms upstairs. Elvis spent approximately $200,000 on the building and took such pride in the project that he personally supervised its construction.
