Cool video! I'm gonna check the schedule in Grand Prairie and maybe head up for a game. To be fair that looks like a very nice facility! Cricket is a ton of fun, actually
1:02 - Kensington Oval certainly does not hold 28,000 by default... so that temporary seating a la Old Trafford better be super, super high. And as to Central Broward Park taking 40,000 for the event... that's also super ambitious as that default 20,000 apparently only includes 5,000 seats. Is this World Cup allowing a load of standing then? The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium having 34,000 seats at least looks probable as all that said pop-up temporary seating square from the wickets that's already in place looks massive (and scary to sit in!).
Yes the 28,000 figure on Wikipedia everyone keeps talking about is the figure for the 2007 ODI Final was when several ginormous temporary stands were built for the final. You can see pictures and videos of the massive stands online but that isnt possible anymore this time around because theres a scoreboard now. The actual figure of permanent seats for Kensington is 11,000 but for the 2024 T20 worldcup these added smaller temporary stands than 2007 and another hospitality building so its 7,000 extra seats which leads to 18,000 in all. Here's the video where the KOMI chairman spoke on the seating ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nYAYFCvrdxY.html
Seeig grand paire stadium kinda makes me sad with the Grand prairie airhogs being part of my older memories, at lease a town not too far away got a team in the same league in cleburne
The airport next to the Arnos Vale Stadium in St.Vinceny has been decommissioned. A new one was built elsewhere on the island, so there isn't the case of noise from aircraft.
Queens park has excellent drainage its under renovation also its owned by the queens park cricket club agaist bcl cricket academy which is owned by the government so you know which the country will use for revenue
Baseball is nothing like cricket other than a batsman and pitcher/bowler. There is a growing South Asian population across the US who love cricket. So it makes aense to expand the game there.
@@ThatC1official Well, tell that to the South Asian diaspora in the US. They, and the professional T20 competitions (Major League Cricket and its developmental league Minor League Cricket) they've been the backbone of, are why the International Cricket Council decided to have the T20 World Cup co-hosted in the US this summer. To say nothing of T20 Cricket becoming an Olympic sport for the first time at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. And for what it's worth, they don't care if you don't like it. The game is becoming sustainable in the US regardless of "mainstream" support or attention because of their work for their community. People like you or me showing up for matches is just a pleasant bonus.
