Heritage Financial Park is a baseball park in Fishkill, New York.^[8] Home to the Hudson Valley Renegades, the park originally opened on June 18, 1994. Originally called Dutchess Stadium from 1994 to 2023, it assumed its current name in March 2023 when a naming-rights deal with Heritage Financial Credit Union was completed.^[9]

It has a capacity of 4,494 people^[10] and is located on New York State Route 9D across Interstate 84 from Fishkill Correctional Facility.

History

Construction of the stadium began in April 1994 after approval by the Dutchess County Legislature, and opened less than three months later in June 1994.^[11]^[12]

Tenants

The stadium is primarily used for baseball, as the home field of the Hudson Valley Renegades minor league baseball team, which as of 2024 is a South Atlantic League affiliate of the New York Yankees.^[13]

The Manhattan College baseball team played home games at the stadium from 2015 to 2019, before returning to Van Cortlandt Park.^[14] From 2009 to at least 2018, the stadium hosted the Hudson Valley Baseball Classic between Marist College and the United States Military Academy.^[15]

Besides baseball, it is also used for concerts, as well as high school and college graduations.^[16]^[17] The stadium hosts K104's annual KFest concert held in early June. Performing artists have included Akon, Rihanna, Fat Joe, Counting Crows, Collective Soul, Wilco, Def Leppard, Bob Dylan, Drake and Adam Lambert, among others.

The stadium's first football tenant, the Hudson Valley Fort of the Fall Experimental Football League, took up residence in the stadium in October 2015.^[18] Some high school football playoff contests were also to be held at the stadium that year, but the stadium was later determined to be unsafe as a football venue and those games were canceled.^[19]

Features

In addition to concessions, the stadium features a kids area, which includes an ice cream shop and play areas. The entire field, excluding the pitchers mound and home plate area, was converted to AstroTurf in the spring of 2014.^[20]
