USTA Launches $800M US Open Campus Overhaul Including Arthur Ashe Stadium

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) has announced an $800 million transformation of the US Open site at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, marking the largest infrastructure investment in the tournament's history. The centerpiece of this multi-phase project, set to be completed by 2027, is a comprehensive modernization of Arthur Ashe Stadium, including a new grand entrance, 2,000 additional courtside seats, expanded concourses, luxury suites, and enhanced retail and dining areas. A new $250 million, two-story Player Performance Center named after tennis legend Billie Jean King will provide state-of-the-art training facilities, expansive locker rooms, lounges with a spa-like experience, and exclusive dining options to support the nearly 2,800 players and their teams. The USTA is entirely self-funding the project without public money, aiming to enhance both the fan and player experience and ensure Arthur Ashe Stadium remains the premier tennis venue for the next 25 years. USTA CEO Lew Sherr emphasized that these upgrades will help grow tennis globally by showcasing the sport on an elevated stage and providing players unparalleled comfort and performance amenities. The construction will be carefully phased to avoid disruption to the 2025 and 2026 US Open tournaments.
