About
When you purchase a ticket to a Hudson Valley Renegades baseball game at Heritage Financial Park, you get so much more than a seat at the ballpark. You unlock access to a one-of-a-kind, family-friendly experience that goes way beyond the game itself.
The Renegades, a Class-A affiliate of the world-famous New York Yankees who celebrated their 30th anniversary season in 2024, are on the leading edge of the evolution of the modern ballpark experience and are constantly finding new and inventive ways to make every trip to the ballgame enjoyable, affordable and unforgettable.
The Renegades’ season runs from April through September. Here is a glimpse at what you can expect when you visit Heritage Financial Park:
The game itself is, of course, the nucleus around which all the other promotions and activities revolve. As a Yankees Class-A affiliate since 2021, the Renegades’ roster is dotted with young, up-and-coming prospects in the Bronx Bombers organization. Some of the players you’re watching at Heritage Financial Park, both for the Renegades and their visiting opponents in the South Atlantic League, may be tomorrow’s big stars in Major League Baseball.
Current Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe batted .285 with 15 home runs in 55 games with the Renegades in 2021 before being promoted to the Class-AA Somerset Patriots in 2022.
There is also a chance that the Yankees could send one of their players to the Renegades on a rehab assignment following an injury. On July 1, 2023, Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon — a prized free-agent acquisition following the 2022 season who hadn't yet pitched for the Yanks at that point because of injuries — started on the mound for the Renegades in front of a capacity crowd of 5,076 at Heritage Financial Park and struck out eight in 3.2 innings of work in an 8-2 triumph over the Willmington Blue Rocks, a Washington Nationals affiliate.
What makes minor-league baseball special is the fans’ proximity to the players and the action. Heritage Financial Park is a far more intimate setting than the big-league ballparks, many of which are roughly 10 times its size. Bring your baseball mitt to the game, because there is always a chance you will catch a souvenir foul ball! Be sure to bring a pen, too, because you never know when an autograph opportunity may arise!
And you can’t beat the price. For only $99, the Renegades Family Four Pack includes four Upper Level Dugout tickets, four Renegades hats and four vouchers for hot dogs, chips and sodas. Be on the lookout for special ticket deals and promotions throughout the season!

It's been said that Renegades provide entertainment, and the baseball is a an added bonus.
Indeed, a trip to Heritage Financial Park (formerly Dutchess Stadium) includes so much more than the ballgame itself. There really is never a dull moment, with music during breaks in the action, as well as fan-interactive games and activities between innings.
But that’s only the beginning.
Enjoy postgame fireworks following select games. Bring your dog to the ballpark on Sundays for Sunday Family Fundays and Pups at the Park; the kids and the dogs are allowed to run the bases after every Sunday game, just like the Renegades!
Also this season, the Renegades are continuing their We Care Wednesday program, which allows local and national non-profit organizations to promote themselves and raise awareness.
Every Renegades game is accompanied by its own themed event, special appearance, promotion or giveaway, many of which are sponsored by a Dutchess County business or organization.
Just to name a few, May 16 is Disco Night (Boogie on down to the ballpark and bring your dancin' shoes!); June 11 is Pride Night (Baseball is for everyone!); July 9 is Jewish Heritage Night; July 22 is First Responders Night; Aug. 9 is Veterans Night; and Aug. 14 is Newburgh Gorhams Night (the Renegades suit up as the Newburgh Gorhams in tribute to the pioneering 19th-century all-Black baseball team from the Hudson Valley).
For the second straight year, the Renegades will celebrate Bhutan Night in an effort to grow the game internationally in the Kingdom of Bhutan in southern Asia. Last season's inaugural Bhutan Night event was a tremendous success and featured ceremonial first pitches thrown out by young ballplayers from Bhutan.

Along with traditional stadium seating and concessions, there are so many different ways to enjoy the action at Heritage Financial Park. Make your next family reunion or team-building excursion at work a memorable one and reserve the Right Field Riviera, the Sloop Brewing Company Beer Balcony, the Bud Light Party Porch, the Mosquito Joe Terrace or the Fox Air Terrace for your group.
The WMCHealth Club Lounge opened in 2024 and offers perhaps the finest luxury experience you'll find at a minor-league baseball stadium anywhere. This accessible, all-inclusive event space, which is perfect for groups of between 10 and 100 guests, includes everything you need to have a great time at the ballpark, like parking in an exclusive club lot; a multi-course meal prepared by an executive chef; private restrooms; and indoor, climate-controlled seating. It's a great way to treat your clients, employees, family and friends to an amazing day at the ballpark.Returning this season are the Fireside Seats. For select games, four seats will be available around a cozy campfire, complete with a s'mores delivery during the game!
If climate-controlled luxury is more your speed, then book one of the suites and enjoy all the comforts of home while you watch the game!
The Faust Design Build Bullpen BBQ, located on the Suite Level at the top of the first base stairway, is the only open-air suite in Heritage Financial Park and is an exclusive, intimate space for groups of up to 12 people.

The Sensory Safe Suite is a wonderful space for families with children on the autism spectrum and with special needs to better enjoy the game.
And getting to the ballpark is a snap! Conveniently located on Route 9D in Wappingers Falls, Heritage Financial Park is only minutes off Interstate 84 and the Taconic State Parkway and is less than a 10-minute drive from the Beacon Metro-North train station.
