Take a Peek at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center's New Indoor Building
The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center has begun its construction project which is scheduled for completion in time for the 2008 US Open. For the indoor season, we covered nine courts with bubble structures on-site. These temporary indoor courts will be situated adjacent to Arthur Ashe Stadium. There will be no interruption in any programs, leagues, lessons, tournaments, or open time rentals at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
The new Indoor Tennis Center will be a state-of-the-art classic, with twelve courts, an expanded fitness center, a full-service Pro Shop, and space for the US Open Gallery.

NTC Program Applications & Information
Even though the USTA pays the City of New York in excess of $1.5 million per year in rent, the organization is permitted to use the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for its own events, including the US Open, for no more than 60 days a year, ensuring the facility's use by the public for 10 months. In actuality, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is open to the public seven days a week, 11 months a year, closing only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. That means you can get out there and play at the National Tennis Center!
