Imagine a sunny October afternoon at Frontier Field—the teams emerge from the dugout as the player’s pictures flash on the scoreboard, and the smell of hot dogs and popcorn in the air. The player is poised at home plate as the pitcher takes the mound.

Yes, the Word Series is an event unlike any other. Here’s your chance to take part—as a participant or as a sponsor.

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon at Frontier Field with teams of spellers competing to win the coveted Word Series trophy that goes to the best in Rochester. Enjoy the friendly competition, food, drinks and a good time with friends, old and new.

Each team will be introduced by an announcer. Their pictures and names will appear on the scoreboard. The winning team will receive a trophy to keep during the year until the next Word Series.
