MLB at SCG

[Bundy]

So the NSW Government is currently weighing up which sporting/tourism/arts opportunity it intends on pursuing and bringing to life and it is either revamping the SCG so that it can host the opening round of Major League Baseball or supporting an anonymous theatrical stage play...

I think this is a no brainer and would love to see a MLB season opener being staged here...having the Yankees play here would be absolutely ideal.

You'd be surprised how BIG the local league baseball is getting, it's starting to really go on, but i agree, the only thing is, we have really crap grounds, which are cricket grounds!!!

Yeah we don't really have any purpose built baseball grounds that can accomodate large crowds like the cricket ovals and stadiums can. But I think we can use an existing cricket/afl ground as a make-shift baseball field because the game does deserve some of our sporting attention given that we do export players over to the MLB...

Well it appears as if this idea to play MLB at the SCG has come to fruition with 2 games between the LA Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks to be played there next March to mark the curtain-raiser to the season.

After nearly two years in the making, the game is finally on tonight - not all that interesting tbh but good job on how the field looks.
