Agreement Brings Pro Baseball Back to Staten Island

City officials recently announced an agreement with Staten Island Entertainment (SIE) to bring professional baseball back to the Staten Island Ballpark, following the Yankees’ suspension of its affiliate teams last fall. SIE will bring an Atlantic League team to play at the St. George waterfront stadium beginning in 2022. 

The team will be named following an engagement process with local elected officials, community members, and other stakeholders.

“This is one of the most exciting ventures I have ever been a part of,” said SIE partner John Catsimatidis. “We will bring family entertainment back to the people of Staten Island, boost the local economy and see our team conquer the Atlantic League.”

Before the 2022 season, the New York City Economic Development Corporation and SIE will make necessary upgrades to the facility. SIE plans to release an annual calendar of concerts and other community events to draw additional visitors.
