this is big news for Swing and Raleigh in general.  This sounds like a good relocation too for Raleigh with Wilson Sports. 

""The sheer size of the Swing Racquet + Paddle campus in Raleigh (45 acres) and the investment ($80 million) deployed to bring it to life is impressive, but the involvement of Wilson Sporting Goods might lend more gravitas to the project than anything else.

Wilson, long synonymous with tennis equipment, inked a long-term partnership with Swing earlier this year. Wilson will move a portion of its corporate staff from Chicago to the Swing campus in Brier Creek, while also standing up a research and development lab, a stringing bar – where Swing guests can get rackets restrung by pros – and a retail space that will feature apparel from the direct-to-consumer apparel business Wilson launched two years ago, the company’s first such store located outside of Chicago, Los Angeles or New York.

It will be a terrific integration platform for Wilson, and to have one of the premier racket good technology companies in the world choose to make their innovation HQ at Swing’s flagship is tremendous,” said Octagon founder and President Phil de Picciotto, who has invested in Swing and helped the company make connections in the tennis world. “It adds another layer of uniqueness and seriousness, even beyond the players’ side. It’s a destination for the future and further development of the sport.”""

I wonder if they will offer pickleball, which has become the fastest growing sport recently.
