The Rebirth of a Negro Leagues Landmark | Stadium Wonders

Hinchliffe Stadium—one of the last surviving Negro League ballparks in North America and former home to the New York Black Yankees, the New York Cubans, and Hall of Famer Larry Doby—has been revived through a visionary redevelopment led by RPM Development and Baye Adofo-Wilson with the City of Paterson.

In this episode of Stadium Wonders, Sports Illustrated explores the landmark’s history, cultural significance, and restoration—from its roots in Negro Leagues history to its long-awaited return.

Lord Cultural Resources was honored to contribute by developing the interpretive, facilities, and business strategy for the Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium, shaping the storytelling, visitor experience, and exhibition content that bring this legacy to life.
