2022 US Open Tennis venue: Which stadiums will host the event?
The 2022 US Open will take place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, a stadium complex within Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York.
The idea of the tennis center came about in January 1977, when William Hester, the then-incoming president of the USTA, saw the underused Singer Bowl on a flight into nearby LaGuardia Airport. He asked the City of New York to let him use the stadium and adjoining land for a tennis facility to host the U.S. Open. In 2020, a 350-bed hospital was built in the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, due to Covid-19.
How many courts are at Billie Jean King Tennis Center?
The facility has 22 courts inside its 46.5 acres (0.188 km 2; 0.0727 sq mi) and 11 in the adjoining park. The complex’s three stadiums are among the largest tennis stadiums in the world. Arthur Ashe Stadium topped the global list with a listed capacity of 23,200.
What is Billie Jean King Tennis Center capacity?
The seating capacity at Louis Armstrong Stadium at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center events is around 14053 seats. The “View from Seat” previews allow fans to see what their view at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center looks like.
