Hinchliffe Stadium, the only baseball site to be given National Historic Landmark status by the National Park Service, has received another assist toward the efforts to renovate the former home of the New York Black Yankees and the New York Cubans.
American Express, in conjunction with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, recently announced a $300,000 grant to be used to preserve two original ticket booths at the main entrance to the art deco concrete stadium in Paterson, N.J.
"We are so grateful to American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation for their continued efforts toward the rehabilitation of Hinchliffe Stadium," said Brian LoPinto, president of the nonprofit Friends of Hinchliffe Stadium.
