MORRISVILLE PLAY OF THE WEEK:
Making Morrisville into the Cricket Capital of the US!

CricketJully21FinalvAs we celebrate the USA Womens’ Cricket Team in Morrisville this weekend, my play of the week is for the Town to be more aggressive in establishing Morrisville as the premier destination for more national and international tournaments. We have a unique opportunity to take Cricket to the next level in Morrisville.

Here are my plays:

  1. Apply for Wake County Hotel Occupancy Grant Dollars to fund expansions to our Church Street Park Cricket fields with more Stadium Seating, a permanent Cricket Pitch, and lighted Scoreboards.
  2. Partner with top companies in Morrisville to invest in our Cricket Field, more corporate leagues, and Corporate Banners. We could give a large sponsor to take naming rights for the field, like Wake Med Soccer Park in Cary.
  3. Solicit an Investor/Developer Partner to develop a World Class Cricket Stadium in Morrisville, perhaps somewhere on the McCrimmon Corridor.

I am going to meet with the Cricket Board, and also will ask anyone to provide me ideas on how we can make this happen! Lets stop waiting and make this happen!
