==Sports== === Camden Athletic Complex === The Camden Athletic Complex (former site of [[Campbell's Field]]) which was completed in 2022. it contains a baseball field, track and field area, soccer field, and lacrosse field. The [[Camden Riversharks]] were an American professional baseball team based in Camden, which played out of the former Campbell's Field. An investment totaling $15 million, planned to be split evenly between Rutgers and the city of Camden, will reportedly develop the area into a recreational complex for the city, as well as accommodations for the university's [[NCAA Division III]] sports teams.<ref>{{Cite web |last=NJ.com |first=Bill Duhart {{!}} For |date=December 3, 2018 |title=It'll cost $1M to tear down failed baseball stadium built with $21M in public funds |url=https://www.nj.com/camden/2018/12/campbells_field_riversharks_demolition_camden.html |access-date=April 10, 2019 |website=The Star-Ledger}}</ref> === Philadelphia 76ers training facility === [[File:Phil76ersTrainFacilCamden1.tif|thumb|The training facility of the [[Philadelphia 76ers]] in Camden]] The team found a property at the [[Camden Waterfront]].

Vocal opponents of the facility claim that the site has now joined a list of large companies or industries that are invited to Camden with significant monetary incentive, at great expense to local tax payers as a form of [[corporate welfare]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=COMMENTARY: Billion Dollar Baby, the Camden redevelopment scam |url=https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/opinion/readers/2016/12/06/commentary-billion-dollar-baby-camden-redevelopment-scam/95048932/ |access-date=April 28, 2019 |website=Courier-Post}}</ref> Based on contingent hiring, the grant was to be paid out over 10 years, with the facility scheduled to host practices by 2016.<ref name="76Grant" /> The training facilities include the two full-size courts, as well as a weight room, full hydrotherapy room, Gatorade Fuel Bar, full players-only restaurant and personal chef, medical facilities, film room, and full locker room.[[File:US District Court Camden NJ.jpg|alt=This is the front of the US District Court facing Cooper Street in Camden, NJ|thumb|This is the front of the US District Court facing Cooper Street in Camden, NJ]]
