So weird for me.
It's going to be so weird. Too big of an arena lol
Will be interesting to see what it looks like. Could be a different winner's circle this year.It's going to be so weird. Too big of an arena lol

Are they going to build separate temporary stands around the main court within the stadium? Otherwise spectators are going to be too far away from the court and 65000 is just too many for a tennis match IMO. Or block off the upper tiers?
Upper tiers will be blocked off, new courts being built in current parts of the parking lots, and temporary seats close to the court. I think the court color is badass though. But it seems so industrial looking overall (the facilities). Now there's so much grass around it's nice.
Thanks for the reply. But Those pics you posted are of the current Cranford Park complex though.
It’ll be nice to see a bird’s eye view from directly above the Hard Rock stadium and how the main court and stands will look, as it is difficult to gauge from pics in the OP.
I know, im saying I much prefer how grassy the location is now compared to it all sitting on a parking lot.
It's going to be bigger though no doubt, which is a good thing.
It's like going from a Cedar fair park with coasters in the terrain, to going to six flags, which are the kings of putting a coaster in a parking lot

Come to Wimbledon if you want some greenery at a tennis tournement
What about Pyongyang??????? xDnew city.
The disparity in crowd capacity between Stadium Court and the only two other show courts is nuts. Too bad they don't seem to have a plan to partition the stadium into two courts. I guess they fear crowd noise from the adjoining court would hinder play but they do something similar at indoor arenas, no?So weird for me.
I bet Fed will get to play on the Stadium Court while Djokovic and Nadal get to play on the other ones.The disparity in crowd capacity between Stadium Court and the only two other show courts is nuts.

They will add a disabled draw in 2019?I bet Fed will get to play on the Stadium Court while Djokovic and Nadal get to play on the other ones.
A special sand court. These hard surfaces, no?They will add a disabled draw in 2019?
Was it against this guy? I suspect that might have made it seem faster:FYI, I just played on the courts. They seem medium speed. Not super slow like a few years back. Hopefully that should make for some nice balanced tennis.
Only one final can sell this stadium out.

Not by the second week.
By then the courts are as brown as sh--.
stupid move, bad for the fans... Too far from the court. can't see the ball. Tennis balls moving at 90 mph, from seat far away makes horrible viewing. Move to suck more money out of fans that are visiting.Will be interesting to see what it looks like. Could be a different winner's circle this year.
Folks that own Crandon did not want to invest the money needed to update the tournament facilities. It's a shame...
Not really the case... dispute was over the ‘public park for non-profit use’ - family of the man who originally donated the land refused to budge. Went to court - apparently the agreement was rock solid and the court refused to overturn it.Folks that own Crandon did not want to invest the money needed to update the tournament facilities.
