New Louis Armstrong Stadium Nears Completion at U.S. Open Site


The new 14,000-set Louis Armstrong stadium is nearing completion ahead of this year’s U.S. Open. A total of 7,400 seats in the upper bowl will be general admission, with the other 6,600 seats in the lower bowl reserved for Louis Armstrong Stadium ticket holders.

Work on the new stadium will be completed within the next 10 weeks, according to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center’s CEO Danny Zausner, who was one of three people to speak with the media this week, alongside USTA President and Chairman of the Board Katrina Adams and Rossetti President and CEO Matt Rossetti, the lead architecture firm behind the design.

The opening of Armstrong Stadium will bring to completion the five-year, $600 million strategic transformation of the U.S. Open grounds. According to the USTA around 85 percent of the grounds has been improved over the past five years, headlined by the addition of a retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium and a new 8,125-seat Grandstand Stadium.

“We started really strong with the transformation with the Ashe roof and the Grandstand and the south campus,” Zausner said. “Now we’re ending strong. They’ve been bookend projects, and they’ll distinguish the site in a whole new way.”

Here are some photos from inside the stadium:
