Grandstand Stadium at National Tennis Center is an open-air tennis stadium located within the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. The current standalone Grandstand opened in 2016, replacing the original Grandstand that dated to 1978 and was attached to Louis Armstrong Stadium. It is owned by the City of New York as part of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park and operated by the United States Tennis Association. The stadium holds approximately 8,000 seats, with a compact bowl design around a sunken court.
The venue is one of the signature competition courts at the tennis center, home of the US Open, one of tennis’s four Grand Slam tournaments. It hosts US Open singles and doubles match play each year, including matches featuring top players during the early and middle rounds. Outside the tournament, the Grandstand is also available for graduations, concerts, corporate outings, and other large events.
The modern Grandstand is known for its intimate viewing angles, partial afternoon shade, and lively atmosphere during US Open day sessions.
