When the courts light up at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, players compete under an innovative lighting system designed to minimize light pollution. The wedge-shaped lamps at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center are engineered to focus illumination directly onto the courts, ensuring clear visibility for players and fans while reducing glare into surrounding neighborhoods.
Traditional stadium lights often disrupt ecosystems, affecting bird migration and confusing nocturnal creatures such as frogs and fireflies. By adopting this eco-conscious lighting system, the U.S. Open is setting a new standard in balancing world-class sports entertainment with environmental responsibility.
The approach not only helps protect wildlife but also improves the spectator experience by reducing excess glare and maintaining crisp, clear views of the action on court. With this sustainable upgrade, the U.S. Open demonstrates how major sporting events can embrace innovation while caring for the planet.
