ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — New signs were put up at Frontier Field to mark the name change to Innovative Field.

The new signs for the upcoming change were hoisted to the sky overlooking 490 to replace the former Frontier Field sign.

This comes after local tech company Innovative Solutions provided $13.5 million in funding to upgrade the stadium. The new name was announced in an October press conference.

And finally, some extra news for Red Wings fans — opening day is only 45 days away!

“It’s always great when you work with people in your own hometown, in your own backyard that have the same civic pride that you do,” said Red Wings manager Dan Mason. “And here at Rochester community baseball, we try to be more than just a baseball team. We try to be an integral part of the community. We try to be woven into the fabric of this community.”
