For over 120 years, our pro baseball club has indeed been the hometown team for the Greater Rochester area.

Community-owned since 1957, Rochester Community Baseball Inc. and the Red Wings provide a high quality, affordable, family entertainment product - and regardless of how the team performs on the field, we make sure our fans and marketing partners leave the ballpark with a winning feeling.

In 2012, the Red Wings' paid attendance of 513,113 included 40 "home games" for the Empire State Yankees, who shared Frontier Field with us while their ballpark underwent major renovations.

Minor League Baseball honored us with the John H. Johnson President's Award in 2004, given to one of the 174 Minor League Baseball front office staffs. The Johnson Award is presented to a "complete" baseball franchise that has demonstrated franchise stability, and significant contributions to its community, its league, and to the baseball industry.

In October 2008, Ballpark Digest named the Rochester Red Wings as co-winners of the “Ongoing Excellence” Award for the 2008 season. An August 2008 Scarborough Research report listed Rochester as the #1 market in the country for interest in Minor League Baseball™. A separate 2008 Scarborough report, ranking the Top Sports Towns in the U.S. based on fan interest, listed Rochester tied for fourth with major league markets like Denver and Cleveland. And our General Manager Dan Mason was named International League Executive of the Year for 2012.

The Red Wings are the only local sports team to subscribe to Scarborough Sports Marketing Research. Did you know: Red Wings fans rank higher in full-time employment, household income, and home ownership than the Rochester DMA as a whole?* Be sure to ask your Red Wings representative for more Scarborough demographic information on Wings fans.
