ROCHESTER, N.Y. — It's been known as Frontier Field since it opened in the mid-90s. Now, for the first time, the home of the Red Wings will be known by another name.
On Tuesday, the team and Monroe County announced an agreement with the Henrietta-based company Innovative Solutions for naming rights. Pending approval from the Monroe County Legislature, the field will now be known as Innovative Field. The announcement comes as the information technology services company is celebrating its 34th year in business.
“From George Eastman to Chester Carlson, Monroe County has produced business innovators that give back to the community — and the tradition continues with Innovative Solutions,” said Monroe County Executive Adam Bello. “Innovative’s commitment to our region is clear, and Innovative Field is a great example of that. Monroe County is proud that Innovative Solutions has chosen to remain here and continue growing with the access to talent, resources, and quality of life we all know and love.”
“We’re thrilled that the Rochester Red Wings will now call Innovative Field home and we’re looking forward to partnering with Justin, Jeff, Jamie and the rest of the team at Innovative on ways we can make the baseball experience in Rochester even better," said Naomi Silver, president and CEO of Rochester Community Baseball.
The Red Wings have called Frontier Field home since 1997. Since then, the stadium has hosted nearly 2,000 baseball games and numerous other events and concerts such as the Summer Soul Music Festival.
