The stadium was constructed in such a way that it could be easily dismantled once the World Cup matches were over. Everything was temporary. However, even though everything is being taken down, it has not yet been decided what will happen to the pitch. A drop-in pitch was brought from Australia for the games. An ICC official said, 'If they want to keep it, they can, but the pitch will need maintenance.'"

If necessary, the pitch may be moved to Florida. No decision has been made regarding that yet. The outfield will not be moved. It will remain where it was. There was a proposal to organize Major League Cricket at this ground in New York. However, the New York franchise is not very interested. Therefore, the stadium is being demolished. The New York franchise is owned by the Ambani group. They want to build a new stadium.

There was controversy regarding the pitch in New York. Batters were having difficulty playing on it. There were also complaints that the drop-in pitch was not properly prepared. However, no team has officially lodged a complaint with the ICC. Hence, the ICC is not considering it.
