[Dixielandjazz] Louis Armstrong Stadium

[Marek Boym]

No, I haven't the foggiest.
But the query reminds me that the municipal amphitheatre in the Polish
town of Ilawa is named "The Louis Armstrong Amphitheatre," at leatd -
during the Old Jazz Meeting festival there.
Cheers

A quick google revealed that  at some stage in his life he lived nearby but it seems a rather tenuous connection. Did he dig tennis? Was there a campaign by jazz fans to get it named after the great man? Does anyone know of a music venue named after a tennis player?
