The Cricket World Cup is coming to Long Island this year, and News 12 has an exclusive look at the stadium where the games will be played. Fans will fill 34,000 seats at Eisenhower Park next month, where a facility and field were built by Long Islanders themselves. John Sulinski and his company, Landtek, installed the field and the main pitch where the cricket matches will be played.
Don Lockerbie, a Stony Brook native who is part of the organizing committee for the Cricket World Cup, expressed his excitement about bringing cricket to a larger audience in the United States. He hopes that having a Cricket World Cup in the United States can help grow the sport. Lockerbie is thrilled that the tournament will take place in Nassau.
The stadium constructed for the tournament will be dismantled after the games are done, but fans can still enjoy watching some of the best cricket talent in the world on Long Island. The Cricket World Cup games will kick off on June 3 with an exciting showcase of talent and skill on Long Island.
