How much did the expansion of Arthur Ashe Stadium cost?
Arthur Ashe Stadium is the US Open's main court at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. It opened on 25 August 1997 as the centerpiece of a wider $254 million expansion of the tennis center; that figure is not a stadium-only construction account. The stadium initially seated 22,547 people. A separate $150 million retractable roof debuted in 2016, and the arena's later published capacity was 23,771 seats. The 1997 expansion and the later roof are distinct investments.
