The problematic word here is cricket..if it were a baseball stadium..no opposition 😡

I don't follow Cricket but it's huge in so many other countries of residents living in The Bronx. Since we're a multicultural society, I think they should go for it! These people are ignorant!

We want cricket stadium, you people don’t see us bitching about golf courses covering half United States

150 million $ is lose change. India started a cricket league called IPL around 2007 and this league is now valued at 30 billion $.
The ODI World Cup happening right now and in india will add 2.5 billion $ to indian economy. So cricket is big money.

Tell them it can also be used as a baseball stadium

[XiLi-pp]

Indians are the wealthiest community in the usa, they can build the stadium using private funds

[exoticgaming]

Hosting a cricket world cup in usa is a big mistake!! They could have hosted it in England which would have been much better

Nice to see Cricket stadium in New York. I hoped they also rented At&t for the event.

I dont think the Broncs community understands how much revenue a International sport like cricket can bring, they want to stay poor go head be my guest.

Just host India vs Pakistan here see NO change to YO when the money pours in from 2 billion people 😂

Cricket should be organized in countries where the sport is adored and its reachable to the mass. Why bother anywhere else when rest of the world is dying to organize it.

Call the Chinese, they will build a stadium on the skyscrapers of new York, they can do it...

[noelhefele]

There is a procedure that people must follow in order to alienate parkland. They clearly didn't plan ahead enough since they are trying to get around that procedure.

The Bronx’s loss is Long Island’s gain.

[DukeBX]

Put that in Queens. Leave VCP as it is.

[wil]

Ha! Residents of the Bronx successfully won against economic improvement. 150 million? NYC ain't even gonna see 150 pennies from this tournament 😂😂😂

[piyushmajumder]

ICC will not be making the stadium icc announced that

[jacktattis]

No dont have it in the USA they will want to dominate and change the rules, and why give them the money generated Have it in a country that at least plays the game . Baseball clubs do not want competition

[yirensds]
