Rochester Red Wings General Manager Dan Mason, despite being just 1-4 in weather predictions in his career, has guaranteed 50 degrees on Opening Day yet again in 2022 as the Wings host the Buffalo Bisons on Tuesday, April 12 at 6:05 p.m.

“People utilized their extra time during COVID honing many different skills,” said Mason “I felt the best use of my additional free time would be to become even more in tune with nature and the elements. I spent a great deal of time out in the cold, rain and snow over the last three years preparing for this very moment. Heck, it’s to the point now where I’m on a first name basis with Mother Nature. And that’s why, despite what my meteorological critics may say, I’m more confident than ever that it will be at least 50 degrees on April 12 when the Wings take the field.”

If the temperature displayed on the ballpark thermometer in right field doesn’t reach 50 during the game, all fans in attendance will receive a ticket to any Red Wings home game in April or May. The historical average high temperature in Rochester on April 12 is around 52 degrees.

Single-game tickets for the entire season will go on sale on Tuesday, February 22 at 10 a.m. at RedWingsBaseball.com. Fans can purchase two tickets for $22 in the 200 level to any game, including Opening Day, all day on February 22 by using the promo code ‘GOWINGS’.
