Arthur Ashe Stadium, Tennis stadium in Queens, United States
The Arthur Ashe Stadium features 23,771 seats, making it the largest tennis-specific venue in the world with 90 luxury suites and five restaurants.
The stadium opened in 1997 with Whitney Houston performing 'One Moment in Time' during the inauguration ceremony of the US Open tennis tournament.
The stadium bears the name of Arthur Ashe, the winner of the 1968 US Open who became the first African American player to win major championships.
