USTA reveals new Louis Armstrong Stadium

Published May 17, 2018

The newest addition to the US Open is almost ready for action. Debuting this summer, the opening of the new Louis Armstrong will mark the completion of the five-year transformation of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

The 14,000 seat stadium will be the second stadium court on the grounds to feature a retractable roof.

With the ability to use the roof, the added sessions will lead to a larger number of matches played on schedule, regardless of weather conditions.
