Lords Indoor Sports

Frisco, TX

Project Summary

In partnership with Lord’s Indoor Sports, we delivered the United States’ first purpose-built indoor cricket facility, transforming the Frisco location into a high-performance training and competition venue. The project included installation of full-length batting lanes, multi-sport fields, high-tension netting systems, and international-standard Gabba Synthetic Turf engineered for consistent bounce and shock absorption. The upgraded facility supports indoor cricket leagues, professional coaching, youth development programs, and special events with durable, high-performance surfaces and flexible playing spaces.
