The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is plotting a major renovation of the US Open site by introducing superluxury areas that could cost as much as six figures for high-paying fans.

The US Open is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the tennis season and tends to offer the pinnacle hospitality experience to its VIP fans through luxury suites. Arthur Ashe remains one of the most alluring stadiums in tennis due to its behemoth and captivating design.

More than 20,000 exuberant tennis fans can fill up the world's biggest tennis stadium in one sitting, and the USTA is weighing up options to take up the glamorous experience several notches higher in its renovations works.

According to a report by the New York Times, the USTA is considering constructing another building within the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which houses the US Open premises, to provide conducive and additional space for players and offices, and also add parking areas.

Additionally, the Arthur Ashe Stadium will be renovated to accommodate the bunker suites. The US Open already boasts one of the most stylish and lavish experiences for the big spenders because of its high-end luxury suites with prime viewings from air-conditioned lounges.

The Arthur Ashe Stadium, which was built in 1997, has two tiers of luxury suites. Fans who pay for this one-of-a-kind experience have access to specialty foods with a dedicated attendant, beverages, restrooms, and unparalleled viewing experience.

Because such suites have increased in popularity, not just in tennis but also in other sports, the report states that one of the renovation options is to introduce "exclusive lounges set into the ground below the playing level."

These suites would be located adjacent to the Arthur Ashe Stadium and the high-paying tennis fans would need to part with $175,000 per person during the fortnight of Grand Slam tennis. Revenue generated from hosting the US Open has been used to develop tennis in the United States.
