Product Description
Most of what tourists know about the neighborhood of Forest Hills–Rego Park is the U.S. Open — either through its contemporary stadium at Flushing Meadows Corona Park or its original location at Forest Hills Stadium. Home Game invites visitors to look beyond the stadium to consider a souvenir of individual memory. Musings and myths from those who live in Forest Hills–Rego Park are packaged up for tourists who want a personal perspective.
Built in 1923, Forest Hills Stadium was the first home of the U.S. Open and the location of Arthur Ashe’s historic championship. In the 1960s, it hosted some of the most important artists of the era including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. After decades of decay and the threat of demolition, the stadium was saved and regenerated as a major outdoor concert venue.
This New New York City souvenir pays homage to the iconic structure and to those who live in the neighborhood,
offering a richer, deeper, and more personal narrative. Home Game invites visitors to listen to the stories of longtime
residents as well as newer arrivals. Their souvenir memories remind us that the places we traverse are alive through the stories of others.
