| Silver Stadium was the home
of the Rochester Red Wings for many years until they moved into the new
Frontier
Field in 1997. I am one who thinks that Rochester never needed a new
park at all. Silver Stadium was a fine facility to host baseball. It was
a great baseball park, something that Frontier Field is not because it
has to be used for multiple sports. Silver Stadium featured a large covered
grandstand with covering provided for about half the seats. And all seats
were close to the action. The concourse was located underneath the grandstand
as is the case with most older ballparks. People complained about it being
in a bad section of town, but this was just an excuse to get a new park
built. Silver Stadium was a great place to see a game, and it's unfortunate
that the Red Wings had to move.
