Of all the grand slams, the US Open is the closest to Coronado, and that’s in New York. The drive to Indian Wells is under three hours and won’t break the bank, plus, the weather is warm and now that Stadium 2 is open, you can get a pretty good seat and completely skip center court (Stadium 1).
Tickets are still available and if you love playing or watching tennis, you need to get them now and plan a getaway to the desert – trust us, you will be glad you went.
Tip: Watch the players warming up on the practice courts or playing soccer outside center court.
