Yea, that's exactly the investment that Long Island needs....

Horrible roads, over crowded, taxes through the roof, crime rampant in many towns, businesses leaving, low paying jobs unless you want to spend big on commuting to NYC.

"Hey, let's build a cricket stadium." "Great Idea" said the brain dead millenials through social media (because talking isn't their strongest trait).

And that begins yet another waste of taxpayer dollars. Incredible.

They will park at Jones Beach and take a shuttle up the Meadowbrook. Just like they do for the US Open. Very easy. Should be a fun event.

T20 is an abbreviated form of the game with matches lasting 2-3 hours.

Not a few days per match LOL.
Good for NC.

Don’t forget pretty much a full bike lane Charles Lindbergh to merrick to park blvd minus a little short short piece. Plus all the firework cars for td banks show with all the random parking on a weekend. Or parking at the empty useless source mall and a short walk down merrick

Westbury LIRR stop is not far but it's not convenient either.
This could get ugly.
I hadn't been near the coliseum in 8 years. This week I wound up with a consult at MSK Uniondale and was shocked to see it had been built in the southwest corner of the Coliseum lot by Earle Ovington Blvd and Hempstead Tpke. It has to account for at least 25% of the Coliseum's parking.
