It was mandatory to build a cricket infrastructure given the unique shape of cricket grounds. Baseball fields are difficult to access due to their narrow dimensions.
Finding infrastructure in New York proved difficult. Initially, there were plans to expand a 34,000-seat stadium in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has subsidized the divisive proposal, and critics oppose the loss of public space to a personal tournament.
But Eisenhower Park, a sports and special occasion park, was left empty, and architectural design firm Populous was tasked with building the high-profile stadium.
