London Stadium baseball transformation revealed

Construction workers have installed over 141,900 square feet of artificial turf from France on top of West Ham’s grass playing surface at the London Stadium as it prepares for Major League Baseball later this month. Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have played over 2,200 times in their history, but it will be the first time they have played each other on synthetic turf. A series of 18m-tall foul poles and over 400 metres of fencing have also been installed, while the build of a batter’s eye, backstop, batting cages, dugouts, and temporary clubhouses are on-going.
