About Louis Armstrong Stadium

Louis Armstrong Stadium is a purpose-built outdoor tennis stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. The current stadium opened in 2018, replacing the original Louis Armstrong Stadium, which opened in 1978 after being adapted from the Singer Bowl built for the 1964 World’s Fair. The venue is owned by the City of New York as part of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park and is operated by the United States Tennis Association. It seats approximately 14,000 fans, making it the second-largest tennis stadium at the National Tennis Center after Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The stadium is best known as the second show court of the US Open Tennis Championships, hosting main-draw singles and doubles matches, qualifying rounds, Fan Week exhibition events, and large-screen viewing during the tournament. The original Armstrong served as the US Open’s main stadium from 1978 until Arthur Ashe Stadium opened in 1997, hosting decades of Grand Slam history connected to players such as Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Chris Evert, and Martina Navratilova, and later serving as a secondary show court for stars including Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.

Named for jazz legend Louis Armstrong, a longtime resident of nearby Corona, Queens, the stadium is celebrated for its compact bowl, strong sightlines, and a crowd atmosphere that feels energetic while still giving fans a close connection to the court.

Location & Transportation

Louis Armstrong Stadium is located at One Flushing Meadows Corona Park Road, Flushing, NY 11368 — within the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park.

Transit: The venue is highly transit-accessible. The Mets–Willets Point station serves both the LIRR Port Washington Branch and the NYC Subway 7 line, with expanded US Open service on the LIRR during the tournament. The 7 train from Midtown Manhattan is one of the most common routes for fans, and the station is a short walk from the National Tennis Center.

Driving and Parking: Louis Armstrong Stadium sits inside Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, with access from the Grand Central Parkway and Van Wyck Expressway. On-site and nearby lot parking is available, but spaces are limited and in high demand during the US Open. Advance parking purchase is recommended, and traffic builds significantly on marquee session days.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at designated areas near the park. After major sessions, expect long waits and surge pricing when large crowds leave at the same time. During the US Open, transit is often faster than rideshare.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are concentrated in nearby Flushing, Long Island City, and around LaGuardia Airport. Manhattan is also practical for visitors using the 7 train or LIRR to reach Mets–Willets Point.

Venue Navigation

Louis Armstrong Stadium is part of the larger National Tennis Center grounds, so planning your route through security and across the complex helps make arrival smoother. The stadium sits near the southwest portion of the grounds, a short walk from the main entrance plaza and the Mets–Willets Point transit hub.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center main gates and pass through center security before reaching individual courts. After security, signs and staff help direct fans toward Armstrong and other courts throughout the grounds.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a steep, compact bowl with a lower level, upper level, shaded grandstand area, courtside seating, and suite/loge areas. The design keeps the upper reaches closer to the court than many large stadium layouts, giving the venue an intimate feel despite its approximate 14,000-seat capacity.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, restrooms, and services are provided throughout the National Tennis Center. ADA-accessible entry and companion seating are available, and accessible parking is offered on the grounds.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct fans to sections once they are inside the center. Expect walking between courts across the tennis center grounds, and plan for stairs within the steep seating bowl; comfortable footwear is a smart choice.

Dining Options

Inside Louis Armstrong Stadium

The National Tennis Center offers extensive food and beverage options during the US Open, including concessions, specialty food vendors, full bars, and signature items such as the Honey Deuce cocktail. Premium and suite dining is available for hospitality ticket holders. Lines can be long around peak changeovers and session breaks, so building in extra time for food and drinks is helpful.

Outside the Venue — Flushing

Flushing’s Chinatown, one of the largest in New York, is a short distance from the venue and is known for East Asian dining. Nearby Corona and Jackson Heights also offer celebrated Latin American and South Asian food scenes, giving fans strong pre- or post-session dining options close to the National Tennis Center.

Security & Policies

Louis Armstrong Stadium maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: The US Open enforces a strict bag policy with published size limits. Bags must fit the tournament’s allowed dimensions, and backpacks are generally prohibited. Clear or small bags are recommended, and policies are set per tournament.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Typically prohibited items include weapons, outside food and large beverages, professional or commercial cameras, long lenses, selfie sticks, laser pointers, large umbrellas, and oversized bags.

Re-Entry: Re-entry policies follow US Open tournament rules. Re-entry to the grounds is typically permitted with a valid ticket and hand stamp or scan, subject to the current event policy shown for that session.

Entry Procedures: Expect airport-style screening, including metal detection and bag inspection, plus digital ticket verification at center entry before accessing individual stadiums. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed the entry process.

How Much Do Tickets to Louis Armstrong Stadium Cost?

Louis Armstrong Stadium ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the player matchups, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Fan Week exhibitions and early-round matches to marquee night sessions and later-round US Open tennis.

Early-round US Open sessions in upper-level seating can start around $50–$150, giving fans a lower-priced way to experience Grand Slam tennis in Armstrong’s compact stadium bowl.

Mid-tournament reserved sessions are often approximately $150–$400, with pricing influenced by the round, day versus night session, player matchups, and how close the seat is to the court.

Marquee night sessions and later rounds in lower-level or premium locations can reach $400 to several hundred or more, especially when star players and high-demand matchups drive interest.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing, especially for popular evening sessions and later rounds that sell out. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Louis Armstrong Stadium Seating Guide

Louis Armstrong Stadium’s seating layout is worth understanding before buying because its steep, compact bowl keeps fans close to the court while still offering distinct experiences across courtside, lower-level, upper-level, loge, suite, and shaded grandstand areas.

Best Seats at Louis Armstrong Stadium

• Best value: Upper-level seats are usually the most affordable, offering full views of the court at a lower price while still benefiting from the stadium’s compact design.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-level sections place fans nearest the players, making them the top choice for proximity to serves, rallies, and player movement.
• Best overall experience: Mid-level seats along the sidelines deliver a strong balance of court perspective, proximity, and atmosphere, especially for fans who want to follow the full shape of each point.
• Premium and suite options: Suites, loge boxes, and courtside premium seating offer hospitality amenities and a more elevated US Open experience.
• For groups: Groups are best accommodated through suite and hospitality packages or blocks of reserved seats, especially for high-demand sessions.
• General admission: Grounds-admission tickets during Fan Week and early rounds can provide access to Armstrong on a first-come basis for some sessions, while reserved seating applies for ticketed sessions.

Getting Ready for Your Louis Armstrong Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air venue inside the busy US Open grounds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested with large tournament crowds. 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. Use the 7 train or LIRR when possible, and give yourself extra time because grounds and security lines build on busy session days while travel and parking congestion peak before marquee sessions.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect significant walking across the National Tennis Center grounds and stairs within the steep seating bowl, so supportive shoes make a full session more comfortable.
• Dress in layers. Louis Armstrong Stadium is primarily open-air, so bring sun protection for day sessions and layers for cooler evenings. The retractable roof covers play, but sessions still involve outdoor exposure around the grounds.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Crowds are heaviest before marquee sessions, and parking and security lines can slow arrival.
• Know your entrance. Guests enter through the main National Tennis Center gates, and knowing where Armstrong sits on the grounds helps you plan your route after security.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
