Wimbledon is pursuing a $270 million expansion project that includes constructing a new 8,000-seat stadium and 38 additional grass courts near its existing grounds. The plan also features on-site qualifiers aimed at enhancing the championship experience. However, the expansion faces legal challenges from local residents who are concerned about the environmental impact, particularly the potential loss of sacred grass areas to concrete courts. The dispute has led to court proceedings as opposition from the community continues. Meanwhile, the Wimbledon queue, a tradition spanning over 100 years, remains a popular way for fans to secure tickets, now accompanied by a festival-like atmosphere with tents, picnic blankets, and food trucks.
