According to USA Today, Hinchilliffe Stadium hosted a home game for the New Jersey Jackals of the American Independent Baseball League on Wednesday. Hinchliffe Stadium opened in 1932 and was a stadium in the Negro Leagues where blacks played. Home to the New York Black Yankees and others, the stadium closed in 1997 due to its aging facilities.

After a $130 million renovation, the stadium was transformed into a modern stadium and will be home to the Jackals from now on. On the day of the game, the first at Hinchilliffe Stadium in 26 years, around 1,000 paying fans were in attendance to cheer on the Jackals. The Jackals defeated the Sussex Country Miners 10-6.

“We expect the reopening of Hinchliffe Stadium to have a number of positive effects on the city of Paterson,” said Paterson Mayor Andrew Saye, “It will be a renaissance for the city.”
