Louis Armstrong Stadium is a tennis stadium of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and is one of the venues of the U.S. Open, the last of each year's four Grand Slam tournaments. The Center is located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, in the New York City borough of Queens. Armstrong was the main stadium before Arthur Ashe Stadium opened in 1997, and is now the No. 2 stadium. It is named after the noted jazz musician Louis Armstrong, who lived nearby until his death in 1971.HistoryThe stadium was originally built as the Singer Bowl for the 1964 New York World's Fair, and hosted special events and concerts afterwards. In the early 1970s, the United States Tennis Association was looking for a new place to host the U.S. Open as relations with the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, which had hosted the tournament, were breaking down. The USTA was initially unable to find a sufficient site, but the association's incoming president, W.E. Hester saw the old Singer Bowl from the window of an airplane flying into LaGuardia Airport. The old, long rectangular stadium was heavily renovated and divided into two venues, becoming the square Louis Armstrong Stadium, with the remaining third becoming the attached Grandstand, the third largest stadium at the US Open, with a seating capacity of about 6,000.

L'Aeroporto Fiorello LaGuardia è uno dei tre maggiori aeroporti della città di New York e si trova nella contea di Queens. Esso è ubicato lungo la costa che fronteggia la Flushing Bay e la Bowery Bay. In origine venne denominato Glenn H. Curtiss Airport dedicato al pioniere dell'aviazione Glenn Curtiss per essere poi denominato North Beach Airport, ed infine dedicato a Fiorello La Guardia, ex sindaco di New York che fece costruire l'attuale struttura. Nel 1960, venne votato come il "più grande aeroporto del mondo" dalla comunità mondiale aeronautica. "LaGuardia Airport" è il nome ufficiale dell'aeroporto secondo la Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, che gestisce lo scalo.LaGuardia, noto per la sua posizione centrale, è il più piccolo dei tre principali aeroporti commerciali dell'area metropolitana di New York e il più vicino a Manhattan; gli altri due, maggiori in dimensioni, sono l'Aeroporto internazionale John F. Kennedy, sito nella zona sud di Queens, e l'Aeroporto di Newark-Liberty, sito a Newark. Nonostante la dimensione relativamente modesta dello scalo, esso è accessibile ad aeromobili di grandi dimensioni.
