MLB Repositions London Stadium for 2020 Series and Pushes Long-Term European Plans

The MLB is adjusting the field at London Stadium to feel more like an authentic baseball field for the 2020 Cardinals-Cubs series.
The outfield walls have been moved back, the foul territory reduced, the seating reconfigured, and high-quality turf and infield clay added.
The changes aim to improve the fan experience after slugfests in the 2019 Yankees-Red Sox series in the stadium.
The MLB hopes to stage additional series in London in 2024 and 2026 and is considering Paris as another host city in Europe.
The MLB seeks to grow the game globally through high-profile matchups in iconic European cities.
