Nice job, did you have any trouble bringing your camera into the venue?

no, not at all (tennis is not like rock concerts !)

Did you see a sign re: max length lens? I'd like to bring a 300 2.8 if I could in the stands.

I don't remember seeing any signs but there were plenty of long lens on the outer courts and I saw white lens in the stadium box seats but not sure of the length. you could check www.leggmasontennisclassic.com

Thanks, I tried the website earlier but it doesn't say and when I tried earlier to call the main # and reach a live person you get either a full voicemail box or you are disconnected. Its a cheap ticket so I'll try it.

I don't think you're have a problem, I know they allow any size lens on the outer courts, And you can get real close to the stadium action (on the changeovers) because unlike other stadiums any ticket holder can sneak into an unfilled box seat, (at least on the night I was there). Of course if Andy Roddick or another ranked player is playing there may not be any empty box seats.

No issues with bringing gear into venue. I was able to bring a 300mm 2.8. Set at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/keithallison/sets/72157621985076570/
