Too big! So expensive too. Get ready for the US open that get your ticket soon or you might be closed out of this concrete park!! The USTA National Tennis Center is quite simply too big and too much concrete. It is a lot more then just the US Open. It is a park with an indoor tennis facility where people can learn a great sport. It is public and it's named after one of the game's greats. However, the tennis stadium is just way too big and very impersonal and not conducive to a true tennis environment. The indoor tennis facility has fantastic tennis courts and solid tennis programs for the general public. It's really too bad you can't use the entire park when the US Open is not going on. It seems as if the US Open area turns into a museum and we are jailed from it. Getting tennis lessons are easy and fairly inexpensive. The US Open, however, is a complete rip off. It's truly hard to believe that the governing body of the USTA does not cap the amount of money that people are spending to watch the event. Also, this National Tennis Center should have the best tennis program in the nation, especially since it's named after a great tennis player. Whatever the case, tennis has lost its luster due to the concrete, physical size, and total outrageous pricing. It is certainly worth a trip to the national tennis center if you're a tennis lover. As for the US Open, if you have a lot of money, then go and enjoy it. The USTA governing body needs to rethink its approach to the National Tennis Center and sharpen the pencil to make it worthwhile for everyone. Some things never change. I hope you enjoyed the US Open.
