Central Broward Regional Park, Multi-purpose sports complex in Lauderhill, Florida.
Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, centres on the Main Event Field, a circular grass cricket ground about 167 yards in diameter. A 10,000-seat stadium rings it, with berms holding 15,000 more, plus stadium lighting and a luxury viewing area. The grandstand has a red roof on red steel columns, and a two-story yellow building with red-framed windows stands behind the seating.
The park opened in 2007 and was the first International Cricket Council certified venue in the United States. This opening marked an important moment in the development of cricket in North America.
The first organised cricket event here was the Martin Luther King Twenty20 Cricket Tournament, held January 18–20, 2008, with local players from India, Pakistan and the West Indies. The first international tournament, the MAQ T20 in May 2008, brought Canada, Pakistan and the West Indies, plus former stars Javed Miandad, Richie Richardson and Mohammed Azharuddin.
The park sits at the corner of US 441 and State Road 838 (Sunrise Boulevard) in Lauderhill. The Main Event Field holds 10,000 seats in the stadium, with berms around the circle for 15,000 more spectators. Stadium lighting is installed, though past international matches saw a night game cancelled over substandard lighting.
The Main Event Field's circular grass ground measures roughly 167 yards across, with a 10,000-seat stadium and berms holding 15,000 more. In August 2016 KL Rahul struck a 46-ball T20I century there, and India and the West Indies posted the ground's highest international totals, the West Indies winning by one run, 245/6 to 244/4.
