The New Jersey Jackals' schedule at Hinchcliff Stadium is a point of contention for some residents in Paterson. The stadium, which was built in the mid-20th century, is one of two League ballparks left standing. The stadium, which is expected to hold 7,000 spectators, has been dormant for more than 20 years, but is undergoing a dramatic renovation. It will include a parking garage, restaurant, and museum.
The move is anticipated to be complete by May 2023, but local residents are worried about the impact on the city's baseball season. The new stadium will feature an eight-game homestand and will feature fireworks and other special ceremonies. The first game at the new stadium will also mark the beginning of the NJ Jackals' history, so fans will likely get to see a new look and feel.
