Clover Stadium is a baseball park in Pomona, New York. It is the home field of the New York Boulders of the independent Frontier League. It has a seating capacity of 6,362 and it opened on June 16, 2011. [4] The stadium is also home to two college baseball teams: the St. Thomas Aquinas College Spartans baseball team ( NCAA Division II), who began playing all their home games at the venue in the spring of 2012; [5] and the Manhattan College Jaspers men's baseball team since 2022. [6] [7] [8]

In 2012, the project to design and build the stadium received the Ward House Award from the Lower Hudson Valley Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers. [9] Originally named Provident Bank Park, naming rights were sold to Palisades Federal Credit Union in April 2016 [10] and to Fiserv in January 2022 who renamed it Clover Stadium for the company's Clover point-of-sale-platform. [11]

Notable events

  • The park hosted games 3, 4, and 5 of the 2014 Can-Am League Championship Round, featuring the Rockland Boulders and the New Jersey Jackals. It was the first time in the stadium's history that championship games were played. It did such again in 2016, this time with the Boulders hosting the Ottawa Champions. It hosted again in 2017, with the Boulders hosting the Quebec Capitales.
  • Field of Screams, a Halloween themed event for children that is held every October since 2015. [12]
  • IceFest 2016 was hosted by the stadium on February 28, 2016. There was an ice rink installed inside the stadium, and the St. Thomas Aquinas College men's ice hockey team played against Columbia University that day. This event marked the first time that another sport other than baseball was played in the stadium.
  • Other ice hockey teams that took the ice at the outdoor rink also included Nyack/Tappan Zee High School and Clarkstown North High School.
  • The park hosted the 2019 Can-Am League/Frontier League Home Run Derby on July 9, 2019, and the Can-Am League/Frontier League All-Star Game on July 10, 2019.
