Why Choose the Evening Session?

Evening sessions at the US Open are something special. The energy of the crowd shifts. The lights come on. The players step into the spotlight, and the intensity rises.

Here’s why fans love Armstrong at night:

• Cooler weather and a more comfortable atmosphere, especially in late August.
  
• Smaller stadium size offers better proximity to the court than Arthur Ashe.
  
• Energized crowd – New York fans are known for their volume, wit, and passion.
