Hudson Valley Renegades

Clearly the stadium did some nice upgrades to the field. It looks really great. But the stadium operations needs to do a rehab throughout this site. Places to start:
Food — No outside food, of any kind, is allowed, so you MUST eat this food if you didn’t dine at home before the game. And the food here is just terrible. Dogs and burgers are super low quality. And how can you call your chicken sandwich a «chicken sandwich.» Chicken is tiny and is as hard as shoe leather. More like a chicken puck! Comes on a crappy burger bun with no lettuce, no tomato, no toppings. $ 6.50 for that chicken sandwich is highway robbery! Where’s a nice bowl of chili, some salads, fresh fruit cups, guac and chips, fresh grilled corn on the cob, some nice wraps with eggplant, peppers, and mozzarella? They are so easy to make and your stadium is surrounded by some of the best farms in the country. Maybe it’s time to look at some outside vendors (do what Splash Down did and hire in Cosimos or take look at the food at the Bronx Zoo) to come in and help you out. Or have a place for food trucks to come in and park. And your prices are just too high.
Restrooms — you need more family restrooms. I can’t believe the number of boys, ages 8 – 10, who were in the women’s room last night. Need to be cleaner and needs some fresh paint.
Parking — pave the lot already! Where is $ 5 per car going?

So much fun! How great to have this stadium in the Hudson Valley. Tuesday is 2.00 taco night. Excellent value. Extremely nice kids serve customers.

Terrific place to bring the family in the summer. We try to go at least once, twice in the summer. The occasional discounted weekday events are terrific for a big family — buy your tickets early. This is a great place for groups of young children, they love it when they can celebrate together at a ballgame. Very bright, clean, comfortable. There is a large bouncy slide at one end and a cantina at the other end.
The food is pretty good — portions are small for what you pay (e.g. $ 5.75 for ~ ¼ lb cheeseburger at the time of this review) but I guess that is how it is everywhere.
We know a number of the summer hires there and they are young people hard at work helping to run things efficiently.
I dock ½ point off for my first visit of the season. Beware that there might be the occasional skimming of change if you pay with cash (what’s that) at the food concessions. It felt so weird after I realized. It probably didn’t help to be preoccupied and it was obvious. A tip jar is better but summer interns taking a dollar from cash customers on the sly is a big NO. (summer hire) :(

I get here at least twice every summer. If you a) live locally, b) think there is nothing that quite replicates the experience of an evening of baseball in the summer — you have no choice. You must come to the Dutch. I believe, as Hegel might have said, it is a categorical imperative. Although perhaps that was Kant, it’s been a few years since my philosophy classes in college!
Seriously — ‘gades game are an amazing bargain, there are no bad seats in the house, and occasionally a good baseball game breaks out. They have a craft brew beer station. The food is not terrible. Grab a couple of friends and go.

Since moving up to Putnam County, going to Renegades games are one of the reasons we love this area. Truly kid oriented. Great people, OK prices at concession stands, (although we have seen an increase) but on par with other Minor league stadiums and great promotions. We attend about 10+ games a season. Just yesterday we went and although it rained for the first 2 hours we enjoyed ourselves. We received free hats for this game and another game we purchased while there. No matter where you sit, you have a great view of the field. I highly recommend if you are in the area to pop in for a game, you won’t be disappointed. But as a side note every season for some reason we go to a game where we either get rained out or have to sit through a big rain delay. LOL Well last night was it, hopefully no other rain issues.

Love me some minor league baseball. HVR top notch experience, Family friendly, affordable and fun! Great way to spend a summer evening with a friend, the kids, family or even a great place for a date. Check out the Renegades this summer!

Went to check out a Renegades game at Duchess Stadium on Bobblelection 2012 giveaway night. Your choice of Obama vs Romney bobbleheads.
The Hudson Valley Renegades are a minor league affiliate, in the New York-​Penn League, of the Tampa Bay Rays. This single-​A minor league team plays in Duchess Stadium.
The ballpark is a solid single-​A ballpark with plenty of concessions and reasonable prices! $ 3 for a beer, $ 3.50 for a hot dog! The seats were clean and comfortable and the facilities are well maintained. There is also a great picnic area for groups with a bouncy castle for young kids.
The team does a good job enticing fans to come to the ballpark with their promotional giveaways and special events. The atmosphere at a Renegades home game is great and the fans in attendance are good-​natured and not at all rowdy.
This would be a great baseball experience for young kids and families.

A gr8 little stadium and nice fan base for this club.
There was a spectacular fireworks display (w/​o a hitch) at their last home game (⁹⁄₅). And YES, they won!!!
Playing to the biggest crowd ever gathered at the stadium, the Gades walloped the Spinners 5:1.
The HV is lucky to have a local club.
Despite the record crowd… leaving the stadium was no problem — can’t w8 for the third week in June 2011~
Regarding the fireworks… an investigation was performed and the problem that launched rockets into the crowd was not determined to be the fault of the fireworks company so their permit to continue the displays was re-​issued~~~

It is wonderful to have a Baseball Stadium so close. They offer many enjoyable events and the Fireworks are a Real Blast and can be seen Up Close And Personal but on this day they where just a little too close to the fans as the mortar launched directly into the stands. The stadium took damage as a result and some injuries where reported.
