Top 10 Best Tennis Stadiums – Number 4
Louis Armstrong Stadium, Flushing, Queens, New York City
Louis Armstrong Stadium is part of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center that hosts the US Open. Located in Flushing, Queens, New York City, the stadium once held a capacity of 18,000. After the construction of the largest arena in tennis, the Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong now hold just upwards of 10,000 spectators.
It remains a staple venue at one of tennis’ Grand Slams. The outdoor hard surface court is both a fan and player favorite named after the great jazz musician, Louis Armstrong. As the tennis center at the US Open is continually changing, the stadium is set to become a 15,000 seat arena by 2018 complete with a retractable roof.
