2018 with the Rochester Red Wings

April 2018

Take me out (as long as it’s not snowing)!

As Rochester residents, we’re accustomed to wind, sleet, and twice as much snow as should be reasonably possible. But this year’s Upstate New York winter is coming dangerously close to messing with baseball season. Let’s hope that the players on the roster are as hardy as the fans eager to see some action on the diamond. The Rochester Red Wings kick off their 22nd season of baseball at Frontier Field on Friday, April 6th. Local fans and season-ticket holders can expect 70 home games, 33 of which are on weekends. Here are some of the highlights of the upcoming season. 

Early Bird Pack

Planning to spend your summer weekends at the lake? The Red Wings have a ticket package for you! The Early Bird Pack allows you to cram a dozen baseball games into the month of April at an unbelievable price. For just $40, you’ll score Reserved, Upper, or Premium seats for the 12 April home games!

Thursdays are for the Plates.

Last year, the Rochester Red Wings became the Rochester Plates (as in Garbage) just one time, and the response was incredible. Thanks to popular demand, the Plates will be back for every Thursday home game in 2018. Get prepared by stocking up now on official Plates gear.

Plates vs. Potatoes

Rochester isn’t the only city in our region with a culinary claim to fame. The Syracuse Chiefs will be taking up the banner of their famous salt potatoes and square off with the Plates in an epic Duel of the Dishes on Thursday, June 21, at Frontier Field. At stake is a 6-foot golden fork. The first 2,00 fans through the gates will receive a free Duel of the Dishes poster courtesy of Express Mart Convenience Stores.

Star Wars Night May 4th

May the Fourth is Star Wars Day throughout the galaxy and inside Frontier Field. This year’s Rochester Red Wings Star Wars game will feature character appearances, a game-worn Ewok jersey auction benefiting the Hillside Family of Agencies, a Star Wars ticket pack, and much more.
