Hammerstein Ballroom becomes home to Pro Padel League action
This year’s tournament brings professional padel right into the beating heart of Manhattan. The iconic Hammerstein Ballroom (located at 311 West 34th Street) will be transformed into a world-class sports arena.
Unlike massive, detached stadiums, the layout inside the historic venue offers an intimate, arena-style experience. Fans are positioned incredibly close to the glass, allowing you to hear every tactical smash, rapid-fire volley, and wall bounce in real-time. The Hammerstein’s legendary acoustics and energetic vibe make it the perfect setting for a sport known for its electric momentum and crowd engagement.
