List of tennis stadiums by capacity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Ashe Stadium, built in 1997 at the USTA National Tennis Center in New York City, is the world's largest tennis-specific stadium.
Arthur Ashe Stadium, built in 1997 at the USTA National Tennis Center in New York City, is the world's largest tennis-specific stadium.

The following is a list of tennis stadia. They are ordered by their capacity, that is the maximum number of spectators that the stadium can accommodate.

It contains stadia that are either built specifically for tennis, or multipurpose venues that regularly host tennis tournaments. A second list is included for venues that were modified to host a tennis event (usually Davis Cup and Fed Cup ties).

The largest crowd to attend an officially sanctioned (by the International Tennis Federation, Association of Tennis Professionals, or Women's Tennis Association) tennis match was 27,200, when a court was constructed in one end of the Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla to host the 2004 Davis Cup final between Spain and the United States.
