The pitch soil has been imported from Adelaide, Australia. Since New York and Adelaide have similar coastal weather conditions, the pitch at Nassau County Stadium is expected to behave like those in Adelaide. This means we can anticipate a batting-friendly, flat, and bouncy track. Spinners might also find some assistance, making for a balanced playing field.
