I've Never Done It But There's Been Times A Million Times Iv'e Wanted To Do It

I Hate When You Ask A Bunch Of People About Going To A Game And Their Like "Ehhh"

I Lived Pretty Close To Yankee Stadium And Always Thought About Just Rolling To A Game Dolo Out Of Boredum The Day Of The Game, Never Did Though

It's a pain in the azz sometimes. Either you want to go or not. Sometimes I just don't even ask I just go by myself cause I'm not in the mood for the back and forth.

:whoa: sound like you tryna set me up playa :usure:

:what: :russ:

it literally is the best place to go. everyone goes to all the show courts and ignores the random players no one has ever heard of, get to see proper tennis from just a few feet away

the day kohlschreiber played isner at the night session was a big day for the 'stars', while people where pressed up to a fence at the heavily guarded practice courts trying to get a glimpse of federer and serena and shyt and seeing nothing i was out on court 77 with 2 other people watching the #20 in the world practice with his coach, you dont see that anywhere :salute:

Most fun I have going alone to something is the US Open, go see whatever match you want for however long you want, walk around the back alleys of the grounds, meet random ass people from around the world there for the occasion.

Hmmm that's always the vibe I got just roaming around checking shyt out. I think I'm gonna do it this year. So do you buy tickets for the day? How does that work and how much are they?

They go on sale in June, get them early cause the tournament's first weekend is Labor Day weekend and Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon are guaranteed sellouts, mostly. Then after the 8th/9th day you don't get as many important matches and the juniors start.

If you just want the experience go the first couple of days, things going on absolutely everywhere. If you're a more of a tennis fan and know all the players and who you want to see, the best time for competitive matches all around the grounds would be the middle Friday/Saturday/Sunday, 3rd/4th round mens and womens. Enough top players there.. less matches but more quality.

First monday/tuesday/wednesday/thursday = less quality matches, more mismatches, but way more going on

friday/saturday/sunday = more quality matches, a bit less going on

monday to the final day = extreme quality matches, but mostly doubles and juniors, a lot going on but less of an importance

forget about night session if you want the full experience. night session us open is always a massive mismatch and there's mostly nothing going on at night unless you get marathon matches. tickets much cheaper though, yet ashe is atrocious.

tickets will go 50/60/70 bucks for day session the first week.

I have gone to games, movies, bars, clubs and restaurants solo. Why? Because I wanted to go and either my friends were busy, lacked funds or just were not interested. Most of the time I am out solo I just end up running into people I know or meeting a broad anyhow. Not a huge problem for me.

Why do I need to be with someone to watch a game in a stadium. I can enjoy the atmosphere with or without a friend present.

I live in DC right across the street from National's stadium so I will roll to one of those baseball games randomly from time to time in the summer. Same with the Wizard's if they are playing a good team. The sole reason I go to bars and clubs is to meet broads so I don't require a friend to go do that.

I'd even consider traveling out of the country dolo if my friends were b.s.'ing about going.
whats the scene like over there in Navy Yard like now? Is there more shyt to do now? 2 years ago i couldn't fukk with it as a place to live cause there were no bars or restaurants open past 5pm. I imagine it's probably different now
