The T20 Cricket World Cup is set to kick off Saturday with a practice match at Eisenhower Park - so it's important to plan ahead to avoid street closures and get to the matches on time.
Shuttles will pick up fans from two different locations. One shuttle picks up fans from the Westbury LIRR station, and another shuttle will pick fans up from the Nassau Coliseum.
General parking, as well as the rideshare pick-up and drop-off, is at the Coliseum parking lots.
Roads around Eisenhower Park will shut down early Saturday morning, including Merrick Avenue, Park Boulevard, Charles Lindbergh Boulevard and Park Boulevard.
Fans just hope they can make their dreams come true by scoring a last-minute ticket.
"It's like my dream, you know,” said Bankaj Dudd, of Hicksville. "We are looking to buy tickets for the match and try to meet with the players if we can."
The closures don't just impact areas around Eisenhower Park. Cantiague Park in Hicksville is closed throughout the World Cup. Teams are practicing there before playing on the pitch at the stadium.
