The Open saw some of its biggest moments and changes while at West Side, including the introduction of seedings in 1927, tiebreakers in 1970, equal prize money for men and women in 1973, and night play in 1975.

[4] The New York Empire of World TeamTennis announced it would play its home matches, coached by Patrick McEnroe, at the stadium beginning with its inaugural 2016 season.

[6] In addition to hosting the main court for tennis championships, the Forest Hills Stadium has been used as a concert venue featuring major artists ranging from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, the Supremes, Judy Garland, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Donna Summer, Brand New, AJR, Arctic Monkeys, and Chance the Rapper.

[10] Since then the Forest Hills Stadium has held a regular summer concert series featuring Santana, Zac Brown Band, D'Angelo, Van Morrison, Arctic Monkeys, and others.

A new concourse redesign expanded it to twice its original size for attendees to relax on a grassy court as well as easier access to food and beverage concessions.

And after 70 years the central tennis courts were replaced with a standing room general admission floor to accommodate many thousands more people.

Unique VIP party lounges were created from unused spaces discovered beneath the stadium after removal of decades-worth of rubble and debris.

[15] In 2014, shortly after the stadium's re-opening, concerts by Brand New and Modest Mouse, Zac Brown Band and Lil Wayne saw decibel levels above the city's noise code, leading to warnings being issued.

A month after meeting with the Environmental Protection Department to discuss strategies for mitigating noise, The Replacements performed over the decibel limit three times during their finale, and the stadium was fined $3,200.

In response, West Side Tennis Club and its booker countersued and a judge provided an injunction allowing for Burns Street to remain open for the over 30 concerts that were scheduled at the stadium that summer.
