Cricket has been hailed as the ancestor of baseball. There was a Pittsburgh Cricket Club in existence as far back as 1882 before it lost favor. Now it is being reinvigorated through the efforts of the Pittsburgh Cricket Association.
There are over 15 amateur clubs in the area and it is a major draw in attracting diversity to the region as it is a major national sport in many countries outside of the USA. Several cricket camps have been held at schools over the years and have generated a lot of interest in our youth.
However we sorely lack having proper fields to play the sport and we need help from the County and local public works authorities to develop a few athletic fields that are suitable to play cricket.
Please sign up to show your support !!.

Greater Pittsburgh has attracted lot of diversity to the region, contributing enormously to the local economy. It also has brought international sport like Cricket to the region as well and is being played throughout the summer right here in Pittsburgh. It would be a great addition to local sports parks if we could get Cricket Sports Park allocated, increasing more awareness and bringing international game to our own BURGH.
Cricket is one of the oldest sport and has become extremely popular in the US over the last 2 decades. With Pittsburgh turning into one of the best diverse towns, Cricket would add the required flavor for its residents to stay fit and healthy as well enjoy the game which many of us love dearly. Cricket has grown by leaps and bounds in Pittsburgh and it would be great to see proper cricketing grounds come into play. Please consider our request and help us promote the game of cricket across the beautiful city of Pittsburgh and our home.
I have been playing cricket for 17 years in PIT. Hoping we can get a 2nd ground which be set up with a proper cricket pitch and good fast outfield. Thank you.
Cricket is second most popular sport in the world and it is played and followed by millions of people. Since Pittsburgh is trying to attract top talent and companies (Amazon HQ2), having a proper cricket field might help build the case for attracting top talent and diverse population!
Pittsburgh is home to diversified people and Cricket is played in many of there origin country, Pittsburgians love sport to we need cricket fields around city to introduce cricket to young kids and for all.

We have good dedicated cricket pitches in other cities like Washington DC, New York, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Florida etc. Wish we have similar facilities here in Pittsburgh.
