Rochester Red Wings Baseball — Restaurant in City of Rochester

I’ve always loved going to the Rochester Red Wings games at Frontier Field Stadium while growing up. Unfortunately, my feelings towards this place have suddenly changed drastically, especially after today! One of my best memories I have was how good their pretzels always were, and now they taste absolutely horrible. Not sure what changed, but they basically taste worse than Wegman’s pre-made freezer box pretzels now. A complete rip-off in my opinion, maybe you could charge $5 for a homemade pretzel and be ok, definitely not worth the $$$ for what they serve us anymore. Today, I went into the Stadium as it was raining, and my Mother asked me to go out to get a couple umbrellas from her vehicle. As I made it back to the exit, there were signs everywhere saying “NO RE-ENTRY”. I was completely baffled by this, but luckily the rain finally held up and we could all stay dry for the most part. As the game went into the 7th inning, I wanted to go grab myself a coffee and have a quick smoke. I also wanted to ask someone about the “Bark In The Park” days at Frontier Stadium. I’ve always wanted to bring my Dog to one of these events, and I think he’d love it too. As I was taking a gander around the premises, I found a couple Security guards sitting around that I thought I could ask. The one Security guard acted like I was bothering him, and he quickly responded by saying it already happened, and that I missed this event. The other Security guard then said that they were having another “Bark In The Park” event on July 2nd. Though, he also said it is very restricted to where we can and can’t bring the dogs in the park. The restrictions were just too much, either under the tents or in the grass. No bleachers?! Are you serious? There’s no sense in bringing a dog to a game if you pay for seats and can’t even sit in the stands you payed for to watch the game. They said their restrictions are in place because of lawsuits (that probably never even happened), because they don’t want anyone getting bit. My Sister said they do events just like this at other fields around the Country without these asinine restrictions. So basically, we are making rules up now based on something that never happens, that could possibly happen. Then I got an attitude from them when I asked where I could go to smoke. I was told I can’t, and that the laws here have changed which is completely absurd! I was able to smoke there last year, and the year before, and every other time I went there before that. Now they are treating me like I’m some damn criminal for just smoking a cigarette. It was completely ridiculous how I was treated today. I smoke, and I am not the only one out there that does. I reassured these two Security guards that this company is obviously loosing business due to their ridiculous new policies, policies that made me want to leave pretty much instantly! This place used to be packed full of people every game that I went to as a kid, and I could not believe how many empty seats there were today. I’d have to give this place 👎👎 now ... people still smoke, get over it!!! Just give us back a little space for smokers to smoke! Some people grew up around smokers, and some people don’t plan on quitting. Or maybe you can just take away all of the alcohol sales if you truly want to make it fair for everybody, since I quit drinking and I don’t want to be around that...

The Rochester Red Wings are a Triple A baseball team currently associated with the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team. The Red Wings play their home games at Frontier Field located near downtown Rochester, NY. The stadium is large and has many shops and places to eat inside on the concourse. The stadium seating is basic and the seats are pretty close together so don't expect to be very comfortable. There are sections in the stands that have covering overhead for protection from the sun but they cost a bit extra. There is netting behind the field to protect the fans from foul balls but if you sit up high enough you're almost guaranteed a chance for a souvenir. The cost of tickets are high for most seats but worth the price for a good time watching baseball. Sometimes the team hosts events that are very special for the kids that come to enjoy the game. Parking is free and there's always plenty of spaces to park in. The staff are very friendly and helpful if needed. When I went in June I took my son and had a great time but we did sweat our balls off. 4 stars...

Watching a baseball game here is a summer time must. Beautiful backdrop, looks professional. The stands are clean, easy to navigate, and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. You can see wherever you sit, you don't feel too cramped. The seats themselves are normal seating, if you can't sit comfortably for an entire game in plastic seats bring a cushion. Or get one of their amazing suites. However, if it is a very busy game night....eat before or after. Do not try getting through the crowd, it's not worth the wait. You miss a large portion of the game waiting in line or trying to get through to a venue. The area for food/drink/restrooms is so narrow you are packed in like sardines. The lines take up your walking path, the menus are only visible if you are near the front, or go online and check out the website. If you are patient and don't mind some pushing and a couple of elbows, the food options are wonderful, fun, and delicious. The space is just not big enough...
