The Schenectady County Legislature contributed $975,000 to build the cricket facility, including the installation of fixed seating for nearly 1,300 spectators along with ADA accessible seating. NY Ovals is renowned for its large, beautifully maintained grounds and natural turf wickets and professional grade playing surfaces – the perfect setting for high quality international-level tournaments and an enhanced experience for players and spectators.
NY Ovals continues to grow as a go-to destination for competitive cricket. The facility also hosted last year’s NEPCL Youth Tournament, along with Minor League Cricket games, including US Men’s National team players who took part in the World Cup, and USA Cricket U19 National East Conference Championship games.
