    Rhinos at home in a rectangle

    ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Ragin Rhinos have a new stadium to kick off the new season.

    They open at home Saturday in a $40 million rectangular bowl built specifically for soccer.

    In the past, playing in a baseball stadium has had its drawbacks for the minor-league team. At a home game last season, the ball ricocheted off the temporary turf covering the infield dirt and popped over Scott Vallow's shoulder into the goal.

    The 12-team MLS is reserving its expansion list for teams with soccer-specific stadiums, and the Rhinos are hoping to move into that league some day.
