Louis Armstrong Stadium is a tennis venue in Flushing, Queens, in New York City. It serves as a secondary court for the US Open Tennis Tournament, which takes place on the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center nearby.
What to expect
The stadium seats approximately 8,000 spectators, so it offers a more intimate setting than the largest courts at the tournament. Since it opened in 2018, it has hosted both men's and women's matches during the US Open, which means a visit can bring you close to a range of players and matches across the fortnight.
Planning a visit
- The venue is best suited to visitors who want to watch tennis during the US Open, when matches are scheduled on its court.
- Flushing is the neighbourhood to know about, with its own shops, eateries and transport links to the rest of the city.
- Because it replaced an earlier stadium of the same name, it is the current home of the Louis Armstrong name on the tennis grounds.
If you are in New York during the tournament, Louis Armstrong Stadium makes an enjoyable stop, combining a day of tennis with a visit to Queens. Check the tournament schedule ahead of time to see which matches are on its court.
