Sporting facilities

On February 10, 2011, Sahlen's bought the five-year naming rights to Sahlen's Stadium a soccer-specific stadium in Rochester, New York.[2] In October 2015, the stadium operators announced that they would not exercise the option to continue the existing naming agreement with Sahlen's, but would instead seek a new agreement.[3] In the interim, the stadium reverted to being known as Rochester Rhinos Stadium.[4]

Sahlen's also owns Sahlen's Sports Park, a 180,000-square-foot multi-sport public indoor facility with three open fields, one boarded field, a fitness center, soccer store and cafe located in Elma, New York[5]
