GRAND PRAIRIE STADIUM IS ONCE AGAIN
[Major League Cricket 2024 Season Begins]
THE PLACE TO BE FOR THE SECOND SEASON OF MAJOR LEAGUE CRICKET.IT'S OPENING NIGHT 2024, BRINGING THOUSANDS OF FANS BACK TO THE SAME FIELD THAT ENJOYED A VERY SUCCESSFUL FIRST MLC SEASON LAST SUMMER BEFORE ALSO HOSTING FOUR QUALIFYING MATCHES LEADING UP TO THE 2024 ICCT 20 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIP.
JUST LAST MONTH WE HAD 50,000 PATRONS COME THROUGH LAST YEAR.
WE JUST FINISHED THE WORLD CUP, BUT IT'S NOTHING LIKE HAVING YOUR HOME TEAM PLAY.
AND OUR HOME TEAM IS HERE TONIGHT, THE TEXAS SUPER KINGS PLAYING THE LA NIGHT RIDERS AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS FANTASTIC.
THE ONE CONSTANT SINCE THE FORMER BASEBALL STADIUM WAS RENOVATED, REMODELED, RESURFACED, AND REOPENED FOR CRICKET HAS BEEN THE BIG CROWDS OF FIRED UP FANS.
OBVIOUSLY THRILLED THAT THE ACTION, PASSION, AND EXCITEMENT OF THE WORLD'S SECOND MOST POPULAR SPORT IS NOW DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A PERMANENT, UH, STADIUM AND I LOVED IT.
YOU KNOW, TEXAS IS ALWAYS MY HOME.
NOW IT IS MORE, YOU KNOW, IT HAS BECOME MORE HOME FOR ME.
YOU WATCH A GAME DAY AND NIGHT GAME ON A WEEKEND, NOTHING BETTER TO RELAX, RIGHT? IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
AND WHETHER IT'S FIRST TIMERS, LONG TIMERS, THE LOCAL TEAM'S OWNER, OR ITS NUMBER ONE FAN, THERE IS NO DOUBT AMONG ANY OF THEM THAT IN JUST ITS SECOND YEAR IN THE GAME WHEN IT COMES TO PROFESSIONAL CRICKET IN AMERICA, GRAND PRAIRIE IS NOW THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
GRAND PRAIRIE'S BEEN INCREDIBLE.
WE BUILT THE FIRST STADIUM HERE REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE ANY OTHER STADIUM.
SO OUR ONLY STADIUM IN AMERICA THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS RIGHT HERE, THE WORLD CUP CAME HERE.
THEY TOLD US THEY HAD THE BEST FAT EXPERIENCE, THE BEST GROUND AND PITCH AS WELL.
AND WE'RE BACK HERE AND GRAND PRAIRIE'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WHOLE CRICKET EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA.
THIS IS THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, IF YOU WILL, UH, FOR, UH, CRICKET HAPPENING IN THIS REGION.
THE 2024 SEASON FOR THE TEXAS SUPER KINGS AND MLC CONTINUES AT GRAND PRAIRIE STADIUM THROUGH JULY 28TH.
