The US Open, one of the city's premier sporting events, takes place at this tennis center in late August. Tickets usually go on sale at Ticketmaster in April or May but are hard to get for marquee games. General admission to early rounds is easier. Behind-the-scenes tours are also offered weekly from October to July 31 (adults $25) – call ahead
As of 2016, the Arthur Ashe Stadium (capacity 23,771) has a retractable roof, there's a new stadium (the Grandstand, which replaced the Old Grandstand), and outer courts have been renovated.
The USTA has 12 indoor DecoTurf courts, 19 field courts, four climate-controlled clay bubbled courts, and three stadium courts that can be hired (hourly rates vary). Reservations can be made up to two days ahead.
