Frontier Park - Rochester NY

A Fan's Review

Frontier Park is the home of the Rochester Red Wings, the AAA affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. The ballpark is located in the heart of downtown Rochester (adjacent to the historic Kodak building). It is a two tiered venue that seats a little more than ten thousand fans.

Unless I missed something, two large parking lots across from the stadium are reserved for Kodak employees and visitors. I found a lot on Plymouth St. and paid $5.50 - the walk to the ballpark took about five minutes.

There is a picnic area in right field that caters to groups and another one in left field that requires a pre-purchased ticket. Frontier offers a wide range of food selections at the concession stands - although not all were open for this weekday afternoon game.

I could not find a seat with an obstructed view. There is ample second level seating, some of which is covered. A ring of luxury boxes extend to the left and right of the press box. I would guess that the highest seat is a mere 200ft. from the field - if that.

This is a good ballpark. The ushers are helpful, but not instrusive and they allow free access to autograph and picture seekers. In fact, I would say this is the best Triple A facility I've visited (to date). While ballparks with downtown area locations offer logistical problems (like the parking I mentioned), that's where they belong - smack in the "heart" of the city - cheers to Rochester!
