We asked Rick Zolzer, Vice President of the Hudson
Valley Renegades minor league baseball team, about
his favorite regional spots. You’ll hear “Zolz” announcing from the broadcast booth at every Renegades game!
“A great local trip for my family is to Marist
College for a football game in the fall, or a basketball game in the
winter. They are both reasonably priced, clean, safe and familyfriendly facilities. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday in the fall—
when the leaves turn colors on this quaint little campus—along
with a little tailgating before a Division 1 football game. The
atmosphere in the McCann Center is always high energy and fun!”
