Hinchliffe Stadium Memories

the remarkable story of one of the last surviving Negro League stadiums. Located in Paterson, NJ, spectators witnessed midget car races, performances by Duke Ellington and Lou Costello, football games, boxing matches, high school graduations, and great baseball. Now a part of the National Park System, dedicated citizens are working to preserve its history and restore it to its former glory.
 

On May 20th, 2023, Hinchliffe Stadium reopened after a nearly two-year restoration. Today, it once again hosts regional and local sports teams, school district activities, and performances. For game/event schedules, news, and basic information, visit the stadium website. For historical information, visit the Friends of Hinchliffe Stadium website.
