The Rochester Brigade was a professional arena football team based in Rochester, New York. The team was a member of af2, the minor league of the Arena Football League, and played their home games at the Blue Cross Arena. The Brigade began play in 2001 and ceased operations following the 2003 season.
The city of Rochester would be without an arena football team until 2006, with the arrival of the GLIFL's Rochester Raiders.
