Unless you're a hardcore fan, you probably had no idea that Grand Prairie had its own Major League Cricket team, the Texas Super Kings.
Well believe it or not, Grand Prairie has become the hub for Major League Cricket in the U.S., so much so that Major League Cricket announced they will soon be moving their headquarters from San Francisco to North Texas!
In a press conference, Grand Prairie mayor Ron Jensen said, "We are thrilled Major League Cricket has decided to bring its full-time headquarters to our city.
"To move your headquarters here from California, that's a big deal."
According to GPTX.com, Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, formerly known as the home of the Grand Prairie Airhogs, will host 12 regular-season MLC matches in the league's third season, along with the playoffs and the final.
Johnny Grave, CEO of Major League Cricket, said, "We're delighted to continue making Grand Prairie the home of Cognizant Major League Cricket.
"In addition to hosting 12 regular-season games, we are excited to bring the Playoffs back to Grand Prairie and look forward to another sold-out Championship Final on July 13th."
