New York's Cricket Stadium Wows Fans Ahead of T20 World Cup
In a race against time, a new modular cricket stadium has been constructed in Eisenhower Park, New York, to host matches for the 2024 men's T20 World Cup. The project, led by Don Lockerbie and supported by the ICC, overcame numerous challenges, including local opposition and environmental clearances, to transform a recreational field into a world-class venue. The stadium, which features drop-in pitches from Australia and modular stands, aims to be a permanent fixture for cricket in the USA and could serve as a model for future sporting events.
