I caught a Renegades game at Heritage Financial Park and had a blast. The atmosphere was great, the staff did a good job keeping the crowd engaged, and they really make an effort to get the kids involved throughout the game. Minor league baseball is almost always a fun time, but this park really stands out as a solid experience overall. Even as someone who isn't necessarily a big fan of the team, I still had a really good time. The energy was fun, the park was easy to enjoy, and it made for a great night out. If you're looking for an affordable, relaxed sports experience, this is definitely worth checking out. Affordable family fun is had to find. read more

This stadium is called Heritage financial Stadium home of the Hudson Valley Renegades minor league Yankee baseball team. My last visit here the renegades were a part of the Tampa Bay rays organization, but I guess the Yankees brought them up and now they are a farm system for the New York Yankees. However, this review is on the Faust suites. My niece's fiancé's brother organized a bachelor party here which consisted of nine of us. It was supposed to be the suite with Barbecue food, one alcohol beverage and unlimited non-alcoholic beverage, and After entering the stadium, there were a lot of giveaways as we made our way up to the suite we began to sit at the table, which was a nice set up in a nice breezy area and it was covered however, the weather was delightful. So as we waited around for some type of service a server, finally appeared ,after speaking with the fiancé's brother we found out that the food was not included now mind you we all paid $75 per person. With the expectation of a barbecue feast and said drinks. I don't know what happened my nieces fiancé's brother spoke with individuals who apparently said he did not order the right package now this is a minor-league baseball team where general admission is $15 why would I pay $75 For a suite and not get anything I would've paid $15 and just went to the concession stand. We all decided to go ahead and order individually however, my niece's fiancé's brother decided to pick up the tab, which is very big of him however, I'm going to advise everyone who utilizes a suite at heritage financial Stadium in Fishkill Duches County to definitely do your due diligence and make sure you get what you paid for. Very unhappy patron, I will be pursuing this matter vigorously. read more

Ballpark is renovated, and prices are cheap. Beverage options are good/very good, but food definitely could be improved. Like a good ambiance but you should eat dinner before. read more

Update: Now that the Gades are a Yankees affiliate, I returned for their season opener, completely forgetting I'd been here before. What a difference a few years makes! The arm waving has been replaced by cheering. The foot stomping only happens on a 2-strike count, and I happily joined in. They are definitely more aware and inclusive now than ever before, and more professional now that they are a Yankees affiliate. The announcer was as self-aware as ever. I am upgrading this ballpark from "boring" to "fun" and now it is just weird enough that I look forward to going back! read more

Electric atmosphere for a minor league baseball team. Tickets are very cheap as well as food and drinks. I would suggest paying up for the diamond club this allows you to scan a QR code and they will deliver the food and drinks right to you. Life can't get much better when you're in the diamond club read more

Went to a game here tonight with a buddy and our 2 sons. Game was great, lots of action. Very family friendly. They make it a point to get the fans involved. Grabbed a couple of souvenirs. Concessions need work. Very slow, ran out of certain menu items very early. My son got a foul ball which made his day. Overall a great night. read more

It's the best they have great and nice people and players one of the best times of my life was going here with my grandpa

I have been attending Hudson valley renegades games since they first opened and I was a little kid. Now I'm a season ticket holder and it's a great time for anyone of all ages to come to a ball game for a great price. The Hudson valley renegades are the Single A affiliate of the Tampa bay rays in Florida. They are a short season team meaning they don't play a lot of games but... The games that they do play are good fun. I enjoy the games a lot. You can bring your whole family here and have a lot of fun. It's a great intro to baseball. The renegades play at Dutchess stadium in you guessed it Dutchess county. It's really close to the beacon train station. Sometimes I come back upstate from the city. Take in a game then go home. Overall. I will continue to come to the renegades. It's a good time for anyone. As long as you like baseball. I recommend coming here to anyone read more

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~~~ read more

Hudson Valley Renegades - Spectacular... - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

this place has bad customer service and they food is also not fully cooked through do not suggest going here just go to an yankees game because it's way better for the price to I think that the employees are rude and Karen like don't go here it's not worth the money or your time read more

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. read more

Minor league baseball at its best. We really enjoyed sitting in the stands with our kids. We thought the prices for tickets and food were reasonable. Kids were thrilled with the "fun zone" (this costs extra, but you can buy a couple of tickets and let your kids go down the slide if you're feeling generous). The night we went, an Elvis impersonator was performing. Complete kitsch, but very funny. Parking can be challenging - not the parking itself, but getting out of the lot at the end of the game. Just take a deep breath and know it's going to take some time. read more

I have to say I was very surprised that this was not as child friendly as I thought it would be. Also, I tried purchasing tickets to the lower section and could not find any tickets online. There were a lot of empty seats down there. Many kids went to sit in these lower seats (while their parents say higher up) and then when my son went too, and he was yelled at. If it's okay for some kids, it should be okay for all. We were standing against the wall where you walk between lower and upper section and an older man yelled at us to move. I was looking for my phone to find where our seats where because my husband had our tickets. All games involved parents and not the kids. I didn't understand why. At the end of the game my son followed some other group of kids to run to the side of the Renegades dugout. He was told to leave. Yet, on the visitors side, some guys were signing autographs and interacting with the kids. read more

I love coming to the Dutch to see the Gades play! I have had so many good memories here over the years! One of the best dates back to 2012 when they won the New York Penn league championship, what a phenomenal night that was! It's hard to leave here without comment by out with free stuff! I also almost always leave with free tickets. The Gades always looks love you to come back and I cannot complain. There is also no bad seat in this stadium! If you live in the Hudson valley or just visiting highly recommend stopping by to see a rising star! read more

Tonight if it was possible to give zero stars I would. I had won a certificate entitling me to 4 tickets at the game of my choice and the privilege of throwing out the first pitch. Being a grandma, I immediately gave this to my son and daughter in law to take my 6-year old grandson. They had a date that had to be changed BUT via phone calls and emails it was scheduled for tonight's game. They arrived an hour early and waited for his time to throw out the pitch only to be told he couldn't because it was veterans night and he wasn't a vet or a semper fi. Can you imagine the disappointment for a SIX YEAR OLD?? All the veterans they HAD been waiting with were all for him doing it but they were told it wasn't allowed and that the VETERANS didn't want anyone else to. I'm indebted to our nations veterans as we all should be. I'm ANGRY as hell at the Dutchess Stadium miscommunications. Offering a child free merchandise does nothing to handle his disappointment of waiting the entire summer FOR NOTHING. I'm waiting for them to now do the right thing. read more

Top notch entertainment for the whole family. Thank you Gades for a GREAT birthday party for my daughter. First class read more

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FGf7E5mWE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmHt9T-oEc read more

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. read more

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! read more

Recently went to my first baseball game in DECADES and forgotten how much fun it can be! Attended with a group of girlfriends of mine, and had a ball. Happen to be a baseball fan, but you need not be a baseball fan as they have all kinds of entertainment constantly going. The restroom is IMMACULATE! A great entertainment value! And, yes, I am coming back VERY SOON! read more

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 ~ 1/4 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. read more

What a wonderful evening we all had. The stadium is clean, there isn't a bad seat in the venue, food is good and reasonably priced and the baseball game was really enjoyable. To top it off the fireworks were way above average. Tickets are very reasonable and it is a wonderful family outing. Go Gades. read more

Americana at its finest. We need to continue minor league baseball for all of us that love the game. The Bigs are making a mistake winnowing the league down to where there will be nothing left. read more

It's nice for families, just make sure you EAT FIRST!!! The food is deplorable!!! And too expensive. Though nowhere near as bad as major ballpark food I'll admit. Even fried dough, you'd think not a Herculean task-but this was terrible. Ice cold, oil SOAKED piece of cardboard. Disgusting. read more

Been going to games since 1994....had season tickets from 1995-2002......always have a great time....but the one thing that stops me from giving 5 stars . Is the food prices have gone way up past couple of years. 2 small cheeseburgers, 2 small fries....supposedly 2 large sodas that looked like 2 medium souvenir cups $37.....come on the food is not that great read more

Love the layout of the ball park. The food was very solid. Really good in-game atmosphere. $5 to park in a parking lot which was not paved is a joke! My car was filthy leaving. $16 for lower level seats is way overpriced. I can get the same seats in AA and AAA for $11-$12. This is the lowest level of minor league ball. The fact that every fan needs to be wanded and needs to empty his/her pockets is absurd! I've been to MLB and AAA stadiums and never had to do that. You swore I was visiting an inmate in the lockup next door. Absolutely ludicrous! It's Class A-Short Season Baseball people. Never coming back! read more

Hudson Valley Renegades - Nice layout and atmosphere. Tickets and parking way overpriced. You get everything but a body cavity search entering the stadium: - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

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. read more

I came here for a game yesterday and probably had the worst experience I've ever had at a minor league park. The good: - Ample parking (charging to park in a mostly unpaved lot feels kind of sketchy but it's unfortunately common with baseball stadiums). - I liked the mascot, Rascal. All of the stadium staff were friendly. - A variety of different seating options at various prices (the fees from ordering online stink but basically every team at every level does it; buy at the box office day of game if possible to avoid fees, sellouts are rare). If you can tolerate sitting on a bench, sit in one of the "reserved grandstand" sections and save yourself some cash, they are more than close enough to the field. The "reserved" section is comprised of bucket seats that do not fold. If you want a normal seat, you'd need to get a "box" ticket. - Nice video board in left field (better than you'd expect at this level of the minors). Nice atmosphere to watch a game. The bad: - Turf field. I'm not sure why a park in this part of the country has a turf field. Maybe because the parent club (Tampa Bay) has one? - I'm not a fan of the PA announcer, it feels more like he's watching the game than actually announcing. That's just personal preference though and I'm sure some would like him. - We went on Championship ring giveaway night. However, either they moved the promotion to another night with no warning or the games on the site and my ticket were mislabeled. We left without a ring and no explanation as to what happened. -1 star. - The team store. Prices on apparel in the team store are ludicrously high and selection is very poor. $36+ for flex fitted hats and $28 for adjustables!? When you're charging more than your parent club for apparel you've messed up your pricing. -1 star. - Food. No outside food or beverage (league policy, not team policy). The selection of food is decent, the quality is shameful. The nachos with cheese are an unopened bag of Nachos and cold melted cheese in a cup. I went with my father and he got pasta, which was cold (yes, you should not be getting pasta at a baseball game, but if you serve a food item it should at least be passable). Eat before you come here. -1 star. The ugly: - The poo emoji on field promotion in between innings is terrible and disgusting. The toilet humor seemed to be designed for toddlers. -1 star. (The other promotions are garden variety for the minors) read more

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. read more

been coming to the renegades since they began just over 2 decades ago. we go to a few games each season. first game this season was tonight. disappointed in the food. think it's gone downhill in quality while going up in price. paid $8 for sausage and pepper and had to search for the pork in the giant hero they hid 1 small link that was not hot. also only a fee peppers then my wife got nachos and cheese and the cheese appeared watered down, not the typical nacho cheese that is thick and clings to the chips. prices have certainly gone up and more selection but quality appears to have taken a turn. the beauty of seeing the worldinor league teams play is the entertainment value and the lower cost for a family. while still less than a major league game, especially in NY, I'd expect the 1uality and value of the food to be better, as in years past.. read more

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? read more

My boss paid a lot of money for us to enjoy a celebratory evening in one of their "suites" - WORST EXPERIENCE EVER ! Food and service were deplorable - first, the "food" took hours to arrive - we were 20 people and they gave us ONE small serving of veggies and dip (canned), a bowl of popcorn and a bowl of pretzels. The hamburgers, hot dogs and "chicken" arrived at the top of the 7th evening, despite repeated reassurances that the food was "on its way". The burgers were so overcooked we could barely eat them - rubber burgers would be a better description. The chicken was so processed and raw looking no one ate those either, and the hot dogs were so salty and full of gristle they were inedible. Even the ketchup put out was old looking and kind of brownish in color. Let's not even talk about the macaroni salad - bitter tasting mayo that probably went bad from sitting out somewhere. Horrible service as well as the food that I would not even feed my dog. For a "family friendly establishment", Dutchess Stadium and the Renegades should be ashamed of themselves serving this disgusting food and also in the manner in which it was served (hours and hours late). And this was $60 per ticket to have the privilege of sitting in one of their suites ?? Run, RUN in the opposite direction !! read more

Absolutely horrible! First, it was $5 for a Gatorade...Then I waited in line for 25 minutes for them to tell me they don't sell chicken tenders on the 3rd base concession when they have it on the menu so my 7 year old son didn't eat because the only other option was hot dogs, which are not even real hot dogs, they are pig parts. If your going to charge $4 for a hot dog, it should at least be a Nathan's or sabrett hot dog. I will never eat there again! Other stadiums north of there have sport drinks for $2 and their food is reasonable. What a rip off! Eat before you go!!!!!! The game was good. What I got to see if it. I was in line til the bottom of the 4th read more
