Even though the USTA pays the City of New York in excess of $1.5 million per year in rent, the organization is permitted to use the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for its own events, including the US Open, for no more than 60 days a year, ensuring the facility's use by the public for 10 months. In actuality, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is open to the public seven days a week, 11 months a year, closing only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. That means you can get out there and play at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center! (All text for this waymark was copied from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center website.)
