Unveiling the Rapid Progress of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Construction
The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, set to host eight matches of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in June, has made remarkable progress. The latest timelapse reveals the swift construction of all stands and the pitch area, with just over a month left until the event commences.
The timelapse, released today, showcases the near completion of both the East and West Stands, including spectator seating across the entire stadium, which will accommodate more than 34,000 fans. The north and south premium hospitality and media pavilions are also on track, promising a spectacular viewing experience and world-class hospitality for all guests. The modular stadium’s playing surface is also progressing rapidly, with the turf outfield now laid and preparation work completed before the installation of the pitches begins next week.
With only 39 days left until the historic first match between 2014 champions Sri Lanka and South Africa, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets now at tickets.t20worldcup.com to be part of the biggest T20 World Cup ever.
Moreover, hospitality opportunities for Broward County Stadium in Florida and Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Texas have now been launched. Fans have the opportunity to witness history at the World Cup opener on 1 June in Texas, a repeat of the first-ever international match USA against Canada, and Sri Lanka facing World Cup debutants Nepal in Florida’s first match on 11 June. Limited hospitality availability remains at all matches at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, including India versus Pakistan.

The excitement for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup continues to build with the announcement that Sean Paul and Soca superstar Kes will collaborate to produce the official anthem, and sprint legend Usain Bolt has been named as World Cup Ambassador.
ICC Head of Events, Chris Tetley
“It is amazing to see the progress of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium over the past few weeks with all stands very close to completion and the outfield laid. To see the outfield now completed shows the transformation from a stadium to a world-class cricket facility, with the pitch block installation taking place shortly. With only 39 days to go until the historic World Cup match between Sri Lanka and South Africa, I would encourage all fans who haven’t got their ticket yet to visit tickets.t20worldcup.com to make sure they are a part of the biggest T20 World Cup ever.”
T20 USA, Inc. CEO Brett Jones
“It is incredible to see what has been accomplished in just a few short months. The stands are up, the seats are in, the technology is being installed, the outfield has been laid and the pitches are on their way. We can’t wait to welcome the world to this incredible venue this June.”
