The Following Guide Has Been Prepared by Second-Year Students As a Reference for the Simon Community A Guide for Simon Students Revised March 2002 The following guide has been prepared by second-year students as a reference for the Simon community. The idea for a more comprehensive resource came from the LASOS club. It draws from various sources, including the school's original "Survival Guide," guides from other business schools, and newspaper articles, including those in the Democrat and Chronicle. The inclusion of businesses, events and locations within this publication is not an endorsement of these places by the authors or the school. If you have any suggestions or find any information that is no longer up to date, please contact the admissions office.

Generations of fans have known two ballparks – Frontier Field, and Silver Stadium, the Wings’ home until 1996. But Frontier Field is actually the ninth ballpark that has been home to professional baseball in Rochester! This article explores the ballparks that have been home to professional baseball in Rochester since its debut in 1877. Early Baseball in Rochester Prior to the formation of a professional team, baseball (or “Base Ball” as it was known at the time) was played by amateurs. There were no official playing fields or stadiums, but rather the games were generally played in public squares. In 1877, corresponding with the formation of Rochester’s first professional team, the “Rochesters,” the first permanent ballpark was erected on North Union Street not far from the current site of the Rochester Public Market.

From the west, take Exit #12 (Brown/Broad Street). From the east, take Exit #14 (Plymouth Avenue). From the airport (ROC), take I-390 North to I-490 East. Parking Parking for working members of the media is in the VIP Lot along the first-base line of Frontier Field. The entrance to the VIP Lot is at the corner of Morrie Silver Way and Oak Street. History Frontier Field opened for baseball on April 11, 1997, when the Red Wings played host to the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Red Barons (Phillies) before a crowd of 13,227. The downtown ballpark replaced Silver Stadium, which was home to Rochester’s International League franchise for 68 years beginning in 1929. Frontier Field is the 7th ballpark to serve as the home of pro baseball in the Flower City. Frontier Field was designed by the Kansas City-based architectural firm Ellerbe Becket. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 16, 1994, but actual construction didn’t begin until July 1995 due to cuts in the state budget. Funds were eventually restored, and after a 5-month delay, it took one year to build at a price of $33 million.

Architecture for Community and Spectacle: The Roofed Arena in North America, 1853-1968 Abstract This dissertation provides the first treatment of the origins and development of the roofed arena in the United States and Canada. Supported by archival resources of graphics and text, and informed by direct contact with arena architects, design and operations staff, this study examines the arena as a place for spectacle within the larger environments of city and campus. The arena's site, massing, and design revealed the expectations of its sponsorship. The arena's internal configuration of roofed seating bowl, floor, portals, and passages was a purposeful arrangement intended to accommodate attendees and manage their movement through architectural space. The first chapter focuses on the transmission to the nineteenth century, via the architecture of theater, circus, and other spaces of public assembly, of the Greek and Roman hippodrome oval for accommodation of multiple kinds of revenue-generating activities situated within a circular, elliptical, or rectilinear seating bowl.

Rochester is for us, who don't know it at all, a city of any time or country, moonlight, filled with lovers hovering over piano-fortes, of a palatial hotel with pastoral waiters and porters,—a city of hand- some streets wrapt in beautiful quiet and dreaming of the golden age.
