Church Street Park Cricket Stadium

Description

Church Street Park is a cricket ground in Morrisville, North Carolina, United States. It's not exactly a stadium yet, but it's undergoing expansion to accommodate more professional matches.

The park recently underwent a renovation as part of a public-private partnership with the town of Morrisville. The additions include an expansion of permanent seating capacity to more than 3,500, increased parking, broadcast facilities, and LED-lit practice areas. These renovations come as part of a $110 million investment into eight renovated or newly constructed cricket facilities ahead of the launch of the domestic Twenty20 league in 2023, and the possibility of hosting matches during the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Church Street Park has already hosted some important matches including those in the Northern sub-region group of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier tournament. It was also slated to host six One Day International (ODI) matches in the 2019 United States Tri-Nation Series but the venue was later changed.
