I would love any footage of Forest Hills and the stadium as it was back in the day! I was there once and was trying to imagine what it was like when there was a big tournament there. If you can send any footage, I would love to see it.

Oh yes, definately a Grandstand!
With "single camera coverage" by CBS/TV.

I don't recall meeting Arthur Ashe but I certainly met Chrissy Evert, Jimmy Conners, John McEnroe, Howard Cosell, Dustin Hoffman, Jim Bouton.
I have films of the place from the early 1970s probably a world exclusive. I saw The Beatles there on August 28, 1964 and many other ancients. If you'd like to see screen freezes on the grass court let me know.

I would love to have been there when there was a grass court and to have seen a US Open there. I heard that there was a grandstand court back in those days also. Did you meet Arthur Ashe there? He used to be at Forest Hills each year.

@MrDrewspy That is a shame because it is such a beautiful stadium with the history. They just let it go to seed? How shortsighted. How about the other courts? are they kept up?

@carloshehe I'm not a member so I can't say for sure. The best place to check is the web site for the West Side Tennis Club. I am sure it is very expensive.
