New Hudson Ballpark

New Hudson Ballpark is the temporary name for a proposed baseball stadium to be built in Hudson, Wisconsin. In 2021 it will become home to the St. Croix River Hounds of the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer baseball league.[3] The new stadium will be 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]
