Hinchliffe Stadium renovation: Historic New Jersey ballpark reopens

PATERSON, N.J. (CBS) -- One of the last Negro League ballparks in the U.S. is back open! Hinchliffe Stadium in North Jersey underwent a $103 million transformation.

The stadium was built in just seven months in 1932 and was condemned in 1997 after general maintenance and basic repairs went unaddressed.
