The USTA has described the proposed work at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre as the “largest single investment in US Open history”. It includes a plan to increase by about 2,000 the capacity of Arthur Ashe Stadium – which currently holds 23,771, and is the largest tennis arena in the world. The stadium is set to get a new main entrance, with facilities inside for fans to be modernised. Further plans include a new player performance centre at Flushing Meadows, with expanded indoor and outdoor warm-up areas for players. The USTA intends to fund the renovation project itself – with work to be done in phases between tournaments to minimise disruption – and hopes to get it completed by 2027. Lew Sherr, CEO and executive director of the USTA, said: “This project enables us to maintain the greatest stage in tennis – Arthur Ashe Stadium – which was constructed more than 25 years ago, and modernize it in a way that will set it up for the next 25 years.” This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up #Open #Arthur #Ashe #Stadium #revamp #part #800m #renovation #plan This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 0 Quote Link to comment https://hopzone.eu/forums/topic/253937-us-open-arthur-ashe-stadium-to-get-revamp-as-part-of-800m-renovation-plan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
