Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY is the largest tennis stadium in the world and is the home of the US Open tennis tournament. It has a capacity of over 23,700, but that would likely be smaller for a wrestling show, which would typically have a large section closed off behind the stage.
The open-air stadium, which also has a retractable roof in case of bad weather, seems like it would look very cool for a wrestling show.
AEW Dynamite will also be in the NYC area the week before at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on September 15.
