2025年美网公开赛即将迎来重大变革。美国网球协会(USTA)宣布启动一项8亿美元的自我投资改造计划,旨在提升赛事的奢华体验。改造重点包括升级阿瑟·阿什球场,增设面向球迷和球员的顶级设施,如“Bunker Suites”和多层球员休息中心。项目分三个阶段进行,预计2027年全面完工,这将显著增加接待能力,并为商业合作提供更多机会,以满足后疫情时代对优质体验日益增长的需求。

🎾 **赛场设施升级,提升观赛体验:** USTA正投资8亿美元对美网赛场进行全面升级,尤其关注阿瑟·阿什球场。计划包括新建多层球员休息中心以及增加奢华套房,如“Bunker Suites”和“Courtside Club Bar and Speakeasy”,旨在为球迷和企业客户提供更舒适、私密且便利的观赛环境,满足其商务社交需求。

👨‍运动员设施优化,专注赛事表现:** 除了提升球迷体验,此次改造还将重点放在改善运动员的设施。新建的四层球员中心将为选手们提供一个在比赛间隙放松和恢复的专属空间,确保他们能在最佳状态下进行比赛,这体现了对赛事专业性的高度重视。

🗓️ **分阶段推进,确保平稳过渡:** 整个改造工程将分为三个阶段进行。部分结构性调整已在今年赛事前完成,为后续建设铺平道路。在今年赛事结束后,将着手拆除和重建球场内外的现有套房区域。最终目标是在2027年美网公开赛前,全面完成球员中心和新入口的建设,确保赛事运营的连续性和升级的顺利进行。

📈 **商业价值提升,拓展合作空间:** 此次升级不仅是为了提升赛事本身,更是为了增加其商业吸引力。USTA预计改造后将能接待四倍的酒店客户,并为商务合作提供更多优质空间。在后疫情时代,人们对高端体验的需求激增,美网正抓住机遇,成为企业招待和商务洽谈的重要平台。

The 2025 U.S. Open tennis tournament comes to a close this weekend, and change is afoot for future events.

That’s because the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the organization in charge of running the year’s final major tournament in Queens, New York, announced in May that it’s launched an $800 million self-funded “transformation” to the grounds.

The organization released new renderings of the plans for its luxury suites, which it shared with Fortune.

The incoming Bunker Suites, according to the USTA, will allow fans to “experience the best of both worlds, with seats only a few rows from the court and a private indoor lounge a short walk away via a private walkway.”

With a focus on providing a more luxe experience for fans and the top tennis players competing at the event, the USTA is upgrading Arthur Ashe Stadium, the U.S. Open’s largest arena, and is constructing a four-story building for athletes to relax between matches. The architecture firm ROSSETTI, which helped with prior renovations, is leading the design initiative.

The USTA aims to complete renovations in three phases, according to a press release: first, some structural changes were finished ahead of this year’s event to prep for construction and start building floors of the new player center; second, “existing courtside and suite levels in Arthur Ashe Stadium will be removed and replaced” after this year’s tournament; and, third, the USTA aims to complete the player center as well as a new entrance to the stadium in time for 2027’s tournament.

The stadium will see an influx of luxury spaces designed to provide fans and corporate sponsors larger areas to watch matches, get food and enjoy other amenities. And some attendees may even use the spaces for networking, said Daniel Zausner, the Chief Operating Officer for the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center where the tournament is held, in an interview with Fortune.

The Courtside Club Bar and Speakeasy will be “designed exclusively for our most coveted seats,” according to the USTA. The new space will be comprised of seven suites.

“There’s been no shortage of both suite and hospitality clients who’ve told us for the last 20-plus years that they end up doing more business during the two weeks of the main draw of the U.S. Open than they do the rest of the year,” he said. “We hear that all the time.”

“Out of the pandemic, there’s been this insatiable appetite for that type of premium experience,” he added. “I think we’re seeing that in sporting events all over the country.”

Kirsten Corio, the Chief Commercial Officer for the USTA in charge of ticket sales, hospitality, sponsorship and other revenue-generating opportunities, agreed. “When our clients look to make decisions on how and where they will entertain prospects or their business partners, they’re looking at Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, the U.S. Open and other premium sporting events,” she told Fortune. “They’re looking at how much quality time can they get with that person or that group of people.”

The Bunker Club, meanwhile, will serve as a “hidden retreat” and include just 74 seats all within the first two rows of Arthur Ashe’s court.

Whereas an NBA game finishes in a couple of hours, a day or night session at the U.S. Open can last longer depending on the length of each match, meaning more time for networking and using these upcoming suites. “For businesses and for deal-making within the spaces that we offer, we’ve been told by our clients that it’s the most successful hosting that they do all year,” said Corio.

Here’s a view of the new President’s Entrance, which is a “portal” that’ll connect attendees to premium seating and lounges in Arthur Ashe.

The changes will allow the USTA to quadruple the number of hospitality clients they can accommodate, said Corio, adding, “I’m really excited that we’re going to be able to deliver a better experience for every fan.”
