Ever wondered what happens to temporary stands once they're no longer needed? Well in the case of the seating sections for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, they're getting transported to New York for another massive global event.

Architecture company Populous, a giant in the industry who have had a hand in the current state of most Major League Baseball ballparks and at least a dozen NFL stadiums, have announced that they'll be repurposing the Vegas stands for a new project.

That project is an ambitious 34,000-seater stadium in Nassau County for the 2024 ICC T20 Cricket World Cup.

The stadium will begin construction next month ahead of the tournament's start in June, and will host world number one team India's group stage game against the USA.
