Monroe County Executives Announce Plan To Renovate Frontier Field
Written by Site Hub on January 30, 2021
According to new guidelines set down by the MLB, Rochester could potentially lose its ability to have a minor league team if stadium renovations aren’t finished by 2025.
Monroe County Executive Adam Bello and Red Wings President and CEO of the Rochester Red Wings Naomi Silver released a joint statement in which they announced their proposals for renovations.
The MLB’s updated requirements for Minor League Clubs include stipulations like a larger clubhouse, food-prep and dining for home and visiting teams, better field lighting and training facilities for players.
“It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Rochester Red Wings to our community: our hometown team is an integral part of what makes us a great and welcoming place for baseball fans and families,” Bello said. “On the heels of the tremendous news in November that the team’s next parent club will be the Washington Nationals, we must show the Red Wings and the Silver family the same community commitment they have shown us since the team was founded in 1877. I will not allow Monroe County to lose the Rochester Red Wings because of stadium deficiencies.”
