Campbell’s Field Still Searching for Tenant
Filed under League & Franchise, Lease & Contracts
The stadium in Atlantic city is used by atlantic/cape community college. Camden by Rutgers-Camden, newark by njit. Johnny Regan
Right, I was aware of Rutgers-Camden playing at Campbell Field and NJIT in Newark, but I was unaware of ACCC in AC. I’d love to see a “professional team” play in one of these stadium. While collegiate summer leagues aren’t professional, some teams at that level can swing low ball MiLB numbers.
Atlantic City’s Sand Castle Stadium, Newark’s Riverfront Stadium and now Camden all sit vacant. I really hope at least one of these stadiums get a team soon. I hate seeing an empty stadium, maybe a collegiate summer league?
The only Summer Collegiate league in the area is the Atlantic Collegiate League. They primarily play at small municipal parks and high school fields. No Northwoods League- style collegiate baseball here.
