The stadium’s “drop-in” pitch embarked on a remarkable journey – traveling over 22,500 kms from Adelaide to its final destination in New York. The video also highlights the arrival of drop-in outfields brought in on tractors, further preparing the ground for the big tournament.
With four pitches cultivated with native Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass now in place, the stadium is rapidly nearing completion. Construction of the north and south premium hospitality and media pavilions is on track for imminent finalization. The 34,000-seat stadium promises to be a thrilling venue for the India-Pakistan clash on June 9.
