When you walk in and see the massive draw/bracket, it finally hits you that you are there.

A couple of tips: take the subway there (it's about a 20 minute direct ride from Grand Central) drink lots and lots of water, sunblock is a must and check out all of the promo booths (Chase, Benz, Wilson). If you're an AMEX card holder, head over there first, because you get a number of perks.
Thanks for the tips! I'll make sure to have my amex handy.

If you have tickets for the show courts can you stay on the grounds before and after the session or do they clear the grounds out in between?
