EDITORIAL: Time for Rochester to play ball with the Honkers
The Rochester Honkers are set to open their season at Mayo Field, but concerns loom about the future of the team. The stadium has significant issues, including cramped facilities and outdated amenities, which have been neglected by city leaders for over a decade. This lack of investment puts the Honkers at a competitive disadvantage in the Northwoods League.
- ▪The Rochester Honkers have won five Northwoods League titles, more than any other franchise.
- ▪Mayo Field's facilities, including locker rooms and restrooms, are outdated and cramped.
- ▪The Honkers ranked 18th out of 24 teams in attendance last season, averaging 851 fans per game.
