The Assembly Resolution acknowledges the historical and cultural significance of Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey, which is one of only two surviving Negro League stadiums in the United States. Built in 1932 and recently renovated in 2023, the stadium serves as a landmark of sports culture and features the Charles J. Muth Museum, highlighting the contributions of African American athletes and the legacy of the Negro Leagues. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preserving such historic sites for educational purposes and to honor the rich history of African American sports.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the annual football game between Montclair State University and William Paterson University, which is a longstanding tradition that fosters community engagement and celebrates the rivalry between the two institutions. By hosting this event at Hinchliffe Stadium, the game not only pays tribute to the stadium's legacy but also promotes its historical and cultural significance. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to relevant stakeholders, including university officials and the New Jersey Historical Society, to further support the preservation and promotion of Hinchliffe Stadium.
