Frontier Field to Be Renamed Innovative Field

The home of the Rochester Red Wings to become the most Innovative stadium in New York State 

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Solutions, the leading provider of information technology services for growing businesses on Amazon Web Services (AWS), announced today a pending agreement to rename Frontier Field, home of the Rochester Red Wings baseball team, to Innovative Field.

Innovative Solutions CEO Justin Copie was joined at the announcement by Monroe County Executive Adam Bello, Rochester Community Baseball President & CEO Naomi Silver, Empire State Development Senior Vice President for Regional Economic Development, and Assistant Secretary for Upstate Intergovernmental Affairs for the office of Governor Kathy Hochul Vincent Esposito and City of Rochester Commissioner of Environmental Services Rich Perrin. The renaming of the field will commence upon approval by the Monroe County Legislature.

The announcement coincides with the start of Innovative Solutions' 34^th year in business, reaffirming the Rochester-based company's commitment to the City of Rochester, Monroe County and the greater Finger Lakes region of New York. 

"Our first 30 years in business were centered in Rochester," said Justin Copie, owner and CEO of Innovative Solutions. "In that time, we helped thousands of small businesses in our region use technology to help them grow. While we've grown nationally and internationally, Rochester remains our home, and we're fortunate to be in a position where we can quite literally plant our flag at the home of the fan-favorite Rochester Red Wings. This is our way of doubling down on growth in our region."

New York State and Monroe County previously announced funding to support a $26 Million budget for stadium improvements required by Major League Baseball such as clubhouse upgrades, female locker rooms, kitchen additions, a new batting tunnel, a weight room, a video room, concrete maintenance and fan seating improvements. Innovative Solutions will be providing funding associated with renaming the stadium, such as signage.

"From George Eastman to Chester Carlson, Monroe County has produced business innovators that give back to the community — and the tradition continues with Innovative Solutions," said Monroe County Executive Adam Bello. "Innovative's commitment to our region is clear, and Innovative Field is a great example of that. Monroe County is proud that Innovative Solutions has chosen to remain here and continue growing with the access to talent, resources and quality of life we all know and love."

"We're already thinking of ways Innovative can help the 1.2 million residents of the Finger Lakes region, with an emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion."
