Hinchliffe Stadium (pronounced Hinch-liffe, although many pronounce it Hinch-cliff) is an historic 10,000-seat municipal stadium in Paterson, New Jersey, built 1931–32 on a dramatic escarpment above Paterson's National Landmark Great Falls, and surrounded by the city's National Landmark Historic District, the first planned industrial settlement in the nation (chartered 1792). It is one of only a handful of stadiums surviving nationally that once played host to significant Negro league baseball during America's Jim Crow era.
