Nassau County is set to make a mark on the international cricket scene as construction commences on a cutting-edge 34,000-seat temporary stadium in Eisenhower Park for the upcoming Cricket T20 World Cup. The stadium, designed by Populous and built by Arena Event Services, promises a world-class experience for cricket enthusiasts.
Construction began this week on the 34,000-seat temporary modular stadium in Eisenhower Park and is scheduled to be completed by May 13th, in time for the June 3rd World Cup match between Sri Lanka and South Africa. Nassau will host eight matches from June 3rd to the 12th.
The venue, set in the expansive 930-acre Eisenhower Park, includes a dedicated fan zone, diverse food and beverage outlets, and cutting-edge media and broadcast areas.
The wicket, a drop-in square similar to those at renowned cricket grounds like Adelaide Oval and Eden Park, is being curated in Florida. Adelaide Oval Turf Solutions, led by Head Curator Damian Hough, oversees the development of the cricket pitch.
The outfield is being managed by the LandTek Group, known for their expertise in sports turf, having worked with teams like the Yankees and Mets.
