Major League Cricket is developing its first major stadium in Grand Prairie – CBS Dallas / Fort Worth
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – A stadium built in Grand Prairie for baseball just over a decade ago will be redeveloped to house a sport often compared to the American pastime.
Major League Cricket formally announced plans on Wednesday to convert the former Grand Prairie Airhogs stadium into the league’s first major cricket stadium.
The move is part of a long-term plan by USA Cricket to build American interest in the sport, which is already the second most popular sport in the world.
“We’re not talking about a few million people watching, we’re talking about a billion people watching,” said Paraag Marathe, USA Cricket president, of international events that could take place at the stadium. “That’s an amazing, crazy song, and the flagship where we’ll hang our flag and announce USA cricket to the rest of the world will be here in Grand Prairie.”
The league’s founders said Dallas was chosen for the stadium over Houston, in part because of a fan base that has grown faster than anywhere else in the country.
Grand Prairie city leaders said they planned to aggressively market the sport, including starting youth leagues.
“I think people who love baseball will get into cricket very easily if they aren’t already,” said Marty Weider, the city’s director of economic development.
The stadium redesign is expected to last until 2021, with the MLC starting matches in 2022.
