#5 Arthur Ashe Stadium
The biggest tennis stadium in the world by capacity (23,771) is the Arthur Ashe Stadium, New York. The central stadium of the US Open, it is part of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre at Flushing Meadows. A retractable roofing system was constructed at the Arthur Ashe Stadium only in 2016.

The stadium is named after Arthur Ashe, the legendary American tennis player who won the first US Open held in the Open Era in 1968. Arthur Ashe broke many barriers - from being the first black tennis player to get selected to the US Davis Cup Team to being the first black player to win a Grand Slam title. Ashe received the USA's highest honour - the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously in 1993.
Costing a whopping $254 million to construct, the Arthur Ashe Arena replaced the Louis Armstrong Arena as the central arena of the US Open in 1997.
