Tennis has a reputation for luxe elitism, which is just slightly unfair to anyone who's braved the rigid plastic seats of Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open, which runs from August 31 to September 13 this year. Managing to sit on them for more than 40 minutes—especially in the midday sun—requires a love of the sport that far outweighs a love of fine things.
Those seats have their uses, though. Beyond a giddy proximity to the top tennis players on the planet, they provide a nice pretext for making the rest of your US Open experience as plush as possible.
