"Some of the changes will be in place for next year's tournament, but the work - which will include new and upgraded seating options - will continue until 2027. That factors into one of the more complex aspects of this project: it's a multi-year renovation effort that can't disrupt the 2026 U.S. Open. "You can't relocate this event. For tennis, there is no backup venue," WSP structural engineer Ahmad Rahimian told Dezeen. "That makes this project incredibly unique, but it also makes our deadline immobile.""
"The renovation of Arthur Ashe Stadium isn't the only change coming to the U.S. Open's facilities in the coming years. In a May article for The New York Times, David Waldstein chronicled the work planned for the space. Waldstein wrote that the changes will also encompass "an opulent new building for the players" including cafes and spaces to train. The overall cost of the renovation efforts will be $800 million."
Arthur Ashe Stadium will undergo multi-year renovations beginning after this year's U.S. Open, with some changes ready for next year's tournament and work continuing through 2027. The project includes new and upgraded seating options, and architects Rosetti and engineers WSP are overseeing the redesign. The renovation must avoid disrupting the 2026 U.S. Open, creating an immovable deadline and logistical constraints. Plans for the broader complex include a lavish new player building with cafes and training spaces. The total budget for the renovation efforts across facilities is $800 million.
