About Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Stadium 1

Stadium 1 at Indian Wells Tennis Garden opened with the broader Tennis Garden complex in 2000 and serves as the original main stadium of the facility. Located at 78200 Miles Avenue in Indian Wells, California, it seats approximately 16,100 fans and is owned through Larry Ellison's Oracle-related interests, with the facility and BNP Paribas Open operating under Ellison's ownership since 2009. The venue also functions as part of a year-round public tennis club.

The stadium is the primary show court for the BNP Paribas Open, a combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tournament held each March. The event is widely regarded as the premier professional tennis tournament outside the four Grand Slams and is often called the “fifth Grand Slam” or “Tennis Paradise.” Over the years, Stadium 1 has hosted the sport’s biggest names, including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, and many BNP Paribas Open champions.

The setting is a major part of the experience: Stadium 1 sits within a resort-like tennis complex with manicured grounds, multiple show courts, premium suites, and upper-tier dining areas overlooking the court.

Location & Transportation

Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Stadium 1 is located at 78200 Miles Avenue, Indian Wells, CA 92210 — within the Indian Wells Tennis Garden complex in the Coachella Valley near Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Springs.

Driving and Parking: Driving is the standard way to reach the venue. Large on-site and nearby parking areas serve the Tennis Garden, and complimentary plus premium or preferred parking options are typically available during the BNP Paribas Open. Shuttle service operates from parking areas to the entrance during the tournament. Lots can fill during peak sessions, so arriving early helps with parking, shuttle lines, and security screening.

Rideshare: Designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zones are used during major events. When large sessions end at the same time, post-event waits and congestion are common, so building in extra time after the match or show is a smart move.

Transit: SunLine Transit Agency operates bus service in the Coachella Valley, but the area is primarily car-dependent and public transit is not practical for most attendees heading to Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Stadium 1.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is widely available across Indian Wells, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Springs. Nearby resort options include Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa and Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa, with additional hotel and resort choices throughout the Greater Palm Springs area.

Venue Navigation

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the Indian Wells Tennis Garden main gates before proceeding across the grounds to Stadium 1. During the BNP Paribas Open, grounds access and stadium entry are managed separately for ticket control, so your session and stadium ticket details matter once you are inside the complex.

Seating Levels: Stadium 1 is organized around a two-tier bowl encircling the court. The layout includes a lower bowl, an upper deck, premium suite levels, a loge and suite ring between the lower and upper tiers, and an upper-tier concourse with restaurants overlooking the playing surface.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available throughout the facility consistent with ADA requirements.

Getting Ready for Your Indian Wells Tennis Garden - Stadium 1 Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a sprawling outdoor venue in the Coachella Valley desert.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Large crowds during the BNP Paribas Open can congest mobile networks. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for parking, shuttle lines, and security screening, particularly for popular sessions when lots fill.
• Wear the right footwear. The Tennis Garden is a sprawling outdoor complex with significant walking across the grounds and between courts, so comfortable shoes make the day easier.
• Dress in layers. March in the desert can bring warm, sunny days and cooler nights. Sun protection such as a hat and sunscreen is important for daytime sessions, and layers help for evening matches.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Peak sessions can create parking demand and shuttle congestion, so leaving early helps reduce stress before first serve.
• Know your entrance. Reviewing your stadium entry point and session details before arrival helps you move through the large grounds efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
