The USTA has unveiled a sweeping $800 million modernization plan for the US Open, marking the largest single investment in the tournament’s history. The project, announced on May 19, will overhaul Arthur Ashe Stadium, build a cutting-edge Player Performance Center, and transform the fan and player experience without using any public funding. The three-phase renovation will be completed by the 2027 US Open and will not disrupt play or fan access during the 2025 and 2026 events. This new investment brings the USTA’s total commitment to nearly $2 billion over the last decade, reinforcing the US Open’s role as a major economic engine for New York City, generating more than $1.2 billion in annual impact.
The plans include a bold redesign of Arthur Ashe Stadium with a new Grand Entrance, expanded concourses, increased seating, new luxury suite levels, and modernized hospitality spaces. Simultaneously, a $250 million state-of-the-art Player Performance Center will be constructed adjacent to the practice courts, offering upgraded training areas, locker rooms, dining, and private lounges for athletes.
