    I’m confused. The article has a picture of a big crowd at Citi field watching a T20 game it says was one of a three game series. But there is no other mention of just using Citi field for the international tournament.

    It’s possible there are scheduling conflicts with other sports or contract reasons. But it seems wanting to expand and broaden the sport with a big pro contest would be served better in an existing professional sports venue instead of taking over community fields.

      Hello confused, I’m dad. (Sorry, couldn’t resist)

      They’d have to pay to use any existing sports venue. They want to take over a public park for free, while charging people hundreds of dollars a ticket.
