Rochester Rhinos Sponsorship Highlights

In late 2015, the new owners of the Rochester Rhinos, fresh off the 2015 USL Championship, recruited Rochester native Mark Washo as Chief Business Officer to lead the “Return of the Rhinos.”

Under his leadership the club grew in every measurable part of the business, including ticket sales, group sales, sponsorship and merchandise, and operating losses fell from the first season to the second.

Sponsorship highlights included Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Moe's, Marina Auto and Capelli Sport. In January 2017 the stadium, seating more than 13,700, became Capelli Sport Stadium, with Capelli Sport also named the club's exclusive uniform supplier and the official supplier of the Junior Rhinos youth academy.
