 Grand Stadium |
Flushing Meadows Corona Park New York, NY 11368 United States |
Arthur Ashe Jr. was the first African-American to win the U.S. Open Championship and Wimbledon, and the first to be included in the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1963. In 1988, he was diagnosed with AIDS. Today, his memory lives on with a memorial that he would have been proud of. The Arthur Ashe Stadium is a four-level structure featuring state-of-the-art broadcast and audio systems, 90 luxury suites, five restaurants, a two-level players' lounge, and individual seating for 22,547 fans.

Rollin' with the Homies |
Brooklyn Bridge Under the bridge, Manhattan side New York, NY 10038 United States |
Banks, ledges, and rails galore! Anyone who likes to skate or bike is going to want to check out Brooklyn Banks. In a city full of hustle and bustle that isn't very accommodating to skaters and bikers, Brooklyn Banks is one of the few places you can go to roll around on real brick and not have to worry about rolling into any problems with pedestrians or cars. Brooklyn Banks, located just under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side, has been a hot spot for wheels since the early 1980s. Even if you don't have a set of wheels, you can still come and watch the amazing tricks (or wipeouts) of others at underground events and contests like the Animal Brooklyn Banks Jam.

Fun Park |
1904 Surf Avenue New York, NY 11224 United States |
Keyspan Park is home to the Brooklyn Cyclones. The ballpark is built on the same template as most others. However, it deftly makes use of the surrounding attractions. A few blocks away from here is Astroland, the amusement park at Coney Island; it makes for a wonderful view over the left field fence. Towards the right field wall are the endless blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It's a spectacular place to watch a game and the unmistakable energy of the Brooklyn fans just adds to the excitement.

The Giants, a charter member of the National Football League, play their home games at the 77,000-seat Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in New Jersey (built in 1976).

The team has since moved to Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, NJ (also home to the New York Giants football team), but most people still consider the Jets to be a New York team. Tickets are next to impossible to get, but you can always watch the game on television. Review © 2007, Wcities |
