Several local schools and sporting facilities have installed costly artificial grass that reportedly wears down much sooner than it’s supposed to. When contacted, most weren’t aware of the problem. Nazareth College, University of Rochester, Town of Webster, Penfield Central School District, and the Rochester Rhinos all have the artificial grass, according to a recent National […]

Bankrolling the Rhinos
The Rhinos have entertained Rochester for nearly 10 years. I’d say the actual on-field product is like a Mercedes-Benz. But at the end of the day, I have visions of management parking the Benz outside a broken-down mobile home, not inside the heated garage of an Ambassador Drive mansion. I just don’t think the team […]

Anyone with their hands in the air is a filthy liar. Richmond (10-4-7, 34) still seems to have Rochester’s number, winning in Virginia […]

On Friday, they earned their first bonus point of the season with a 3-1 win over Cincinnati (8-0-16). Hamisi Amani-Dove scored twice in that game, and added one the following evening […]

Who told you last Friday’s match against Charleston was going to be the biggest and toughest regular-season battle in the history of Frontier?
