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