The US Open's Arthur Ashe Stadium will undergo a major transformation as part of an $800 million renovation project at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, announced US tennis officials on Monday in New York.
The extensive renovations will be completed by 2027 and are being funded entirely through private sources, without any public money.

"We're proud to unveil the largest single investment in the history of this event, a multi-year transformation that will elevate the experience for every fan, player and partner who enters the grounds at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The upgrades to Arthur Ashe stadium, alongside a new state of the art player Performance Center, will ensure that the world's premier tennis venue will excel for generations to come."
The renovation plans include a reconfiguration of the 24,000-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium, increasing lower courtside seating from 3,000 to approximately 5,000 seats.
The project will also feature a new player performance centre and various upgrades throughout the complex to enhance facilities for fans.
Preliminary construction work has already begun at the site. The renovation schedule will not impact any upcoming US Open tournaments.
This year's US Open tournament, the final Grand Slam of the tennis calendar, is scheduled to take place from August 24 to September 7.
