Louis Armstrong Stadium is a premier sports venue located at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens, New York City. Owned by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), it serves as the second-largest stadium at the US Open, with a seating capacity of 14,053. The stadium features a modern design by Rossetti Architects and opened in 2018, replacing the original 1978 structure. One of its standout features is a retractable roof-the largest among secondary Grand Slam stadiums-combined with natural ventilation, allowing for uninterrupted play during inclement weather. The court surface is Laykold hardcourt, consistent with other courts used at the US Open. Named in honor of legendary jazz musician Louis Armstrong, who lived nearby, the stadium carries a rich cultural legacy alongside its sporting significance. It is easily accessible via public transportation, including the Long Island Rail Road and New York City Subway. Louis Armstrong Stadium continues to be a central venue for world-class tennis events and is recognized as an architectural and technological marvel in the heart of New York City’s sporting landscape.

About Ring Magazine:

Ring Magazine, the “Bible of Boxing,” has chronicled the sport’s greatest moments since 1922. This event marks another milestone in its commitment to delivering the best matchups and most memorable nights in boxing.

In November 2024, Oscar De La Hoya sold The Ring magazine to Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and a prominent figure in the global boxing scene. This sale marked the end of De La Hoya’s 17-year ownership, during which the magazine was operated under Golden Boy Enterprises and maintained its reputation as "The Bible of Boxing" despite ongoing debates about editorial independence. Under Alalshikh’s leadership, The Ring is expected to undergo significant changes, including a revival of its monthly print edition and a separation of digital and print editorial teams, with Rick Reeno overseeing digital operations and Dougie Fischer continuing as editor-in-chief of the print magazine. The acquisition reflects Alalshikh’s broader efforts to expand Saudi Arabia’s influence in international boxing through high-profile events and media investments.
