Forest Hills Stadium Agrees to Cap Number of Concerts Per Year, Ending Years of Litigation With Locals
The new agreement puts an end to the yearslong litigation that put the venue’s concerts in jeopardy.
Forest Hills Stadium, also known as Forest Hills Garden, has reached a settlement with local residents, ending years of litigation over the number of concerts the venue hosts annually. The agreement, announced on October 21, allows the venue to host up to 28 concerts per season, with 29 concerts during renewal terms. Tiebreaker Productions, LLC, which operates Forest Hills Stadium, will provide financial support to the neighborhood through a one-time upfront payment and per-show payments.
The agreement also establishes designated routes for attendees to minimize disruption in the neighborhood. Forest Hills Stadium's commitment to the neighborhood and New York City is reflected in the agreement, which aims to maintain the venue's history and protect the community's interests. The settlement comes after residents filed lawsuits due to noise complaints, which had threatened the venue's 2025 season.
Both the Forest Hills Gardens Corporation and The West Side Tennis Club expressed their satisfaction with the resolution, looking forward to a constructive relationship with the venue moving forward.
