History
From 2008 to 2020, the team played its home games at Richmond County Bank Ballpark in Staten Island, New York. However, when the Staten Island Yankees folded in 2020, the ballpark temporarily closed and left the Seahawks without a home stadium.[4] The Seahawks played part of the 2020 season (which was later suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic) as a road team. In 2021, they played a majority of their home games at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, New Jersey. In 2022, they will play eight home games at the Trenton Thunder Ballpark in Trenton, New Jersey, and another 12 home games at ShoreTown Ballpark (previously known as FirstEnergy Park).[5]
