Ample public financing from New York State made the construction of the then ''PAETEC Park'' very controversial, especially in light of the private ownership of the park. However, the former brownfield site in a struggling part of the city was briefly on the tax rolls and hosts a number of events each year. - - In addition to ["soccer"] and ["lacrosse"] matches, the stadium is scheduled to host football games, drum and bugle competitions, charity walks, concerts and Section V high school competition. Moreover, the Rhinos management was confident that the park makes it much easier to host international soccer friendlies and Men's and Women's National Team matches. - - Officials of the annual "Courage Bowl" (football game) between ["St. John Fisher College" St. John Fisher] and the ["University of Rochester"] announced plans to move from on-campus sites to the stadium in 2010.[[Footnote([http://topics.treehugger.com/article/0adqbR0gu6aSe?q=Rochester+Rhinos TreeHugger.com])]] - - ==Naming of the Park== - ===2011=== - On February 10, ["2011"], it was announced that the new name of the stadium would be Sahlen's Stadium after the deal with Marina Auto expired.

The cost of the agreement was not released, but is estimated at about $2 million. - ===2009-2010=== - '''["Marina Auto Stadium"]''' (sometimes referred to as ["Marina Auto Park"]): At the halftime for the Rhinos' homeopener against the Montreal Impact, held May 30th, 2009, ["Marina Dodge"] was declared the winner in the naming rights pool of 328 entries. They chose the name ["Marina Auto Stadium"] which will remain the name for the entirety of the 2009 season.[[Footnote([http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090604/SPORTS05/90604022 D&C Article June, 6 2009])]].

On December 11, 2008 it was announced that PAETEC Holding Corp. would not renew their naming rights agreement when the contract expires in April 2009. The former {{{http://www.paetecpark.com }}} website is now dead. - - ==State Audit== - "''The state initiated an audit of the Rochester Rhinos stadium project in June 2008 to determine whether $19 million in state grant money was used properly. The money was meant to help fund the stadium's design and construction. The city took ownership of the stadium after the prior owner defaulted on a loan. The audit was conducted at Duffy's request. - ... - Due to the lack of due diligence performed on the Rochester Rhinos Soccer Stadium project, one local and two state agencies did not undertake sufficient review and oversight to ascertain whether a $19 million public grant was a good investment of taxpayer dollars, according to an audit released by State Comptroller Thomas P.
