Camden New Jersey is often thought of as the poster child for urban decay. Parts of it can be pretty nasty. But it does have some things going for it. Like Campbell's Soup, which is still headquartered in the city. Like Philadelphia, conveniently across the river by car, boat, or train. Like the Delaware riverfront, and the attractions that have been recently built. The Tweeter Center amphitheater, the New Jersey Aquarium, the Battleship New Jersey, and Campbell's Field, the home of the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League. Yes, the soup company is the title sponsor of the ballpark, and has added their touch to the place.
The Atlantic League started from scratch, and was able to get cities in the northeast to construct some beautiful new ballparks for their teams. Most of the teams are located in the large metropolitan areas between Boston and Philadelphia.
