The Rhinos played at Frontier from their inception in 1996 until 2005, when the team moved to the soccer-specific PAETEC Park three blocks northwest of Frontier Field. Additionally, the Rattlers played at Frontier from 2001 to 2002, when the team moved to Bishop Kearney High School. Currently, both the Rattlers and Rhinos play at PAETEC Park, and Frontier Field is now used exclusively for baseball and special events.

Upgrades

The Red Wings, now the sole tenant at Frontier Field, are making upgrades to the park to make the stadium a better baseball facility. The first notable upgrade, the installation of a new 24 foot by 32 foot video scoreboard in left field, was completed in time for the 2006 season. Originally, a new grass turf was to be installed following the 2006 season to replace the grass that has been beat up over the years from extensive use in baseball, soccer, and lacrosse.^[3] No such replacement was made, and the work is now expected to commence after the 2007 season.^{[citation needed]}
