A new project is planned for Frontier Field in Rochester.
Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo and Rochester Red Wings President and CEO Naomi Silver broke ground yesterday on a full-scale field replacement project.
Construction on the $2.2 million project will begin next week, and is expected to be completed by March of next year before the teams April home opener.
The field's “root zone” layer directly below the surface will be replaced, and the drainage and irrigation system underneath that will be repaired and replaced as well.
