St. Croix River Hounds ( NWL) |
New Hudson Ballpark is the temporary name for a proposed ballpark to be built in Hudson, Wisconsin. It was planned to be the home of the St. Croix River Hounds, a collegiate summer baseball team that was scheduled to play in the Northwoods League. [3] The new stadium would have been part of a multi-use campus planned for the old 130-acre St. Croix Meadows dog track, [3] [4] a facility which was in business from 1991 to 2001, and which was unused afterwards. [5] It was reported in July 2017 that construction could start the next month, with ticket sales starting that September and the stadium opening in May 2018. [6] The St. Croix Meadows dog track was demolished in January 2018 to make room for the new Hudson Gateway development. [7] In October 2019, baseball stadium construction was set to begin in the spring of 2020. [3] In May 2020, construction was to begin "this summer". [8] As of April 29, 2021 [update], ballpark construction had not begun, but the team still had "the intention to begin the build this year." [9] In July 2022, a revised development plan was presented that would call for a 1,400 seat facility that could open as soon as June 2023. [2] The River Hounds were still not listed in the Northwoods League schedule for 2023. [10] As of October 2023, [update] the St. Croix River Hounds' website had been taken offline and the team was no longer listed as an expansion franchise on the league's website. [11]
