GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers is earning national recognition.
Ballpark Digest has named Fox Cities Stadium, Ballpark of the Year for 2023.
“We are deeply honored to be named Ballpark Digest’s Ballpark of the Year and we thank Kevin and his team for this tremendous recognition”, said Timber Rattlers CEO and Managing Partner, Rob Zerjav. “We take a lot of pride in our almost 30-year-old stadium and have been very strategic with our renovation plans over the years to ensure we are providing the newest amenities while keeping some of our old-school charm. Our recent renovation couldn’t have been received any better by our players and our fans. To have that hard work noticed by Ballpark Digest is the cherry on top.”
The home of the Timber Rattlers underwent a major renovation at the end of the 2022 season. The vision of a 360-degree concourse was realized with new seating atop the left field wall and a slide to honor the Milwaukee Brewers slide at American Family Field. Additional renovations for fans included: a premium group seating area behind home plate, wider concourses, and improved handicapped seating.
Additionally, a new home clubhouse of over 22,000 square feet for the home team was built from scratch with the intention of being one of the best in Minor League Baseball with batting cages, a workout facility, agility field, commissary, meeting rooms, video rooms, offices, and a spacious locker room.
Timber Rattlers fans flocked to the stadium to see the renovations and the latest Milwaukee Brewers prospects. Attendance soared to over 227,000, which was up 10% from the 2022 season.
The Timber Rattlers’ 2024 season opener is at Fox Cities Stadium against the Peoria Chiefs on Friday, April 5. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m.
Full-season, half-season, mini-plan, flex packages, and individual game tickets for the 2024 season are available online through timberrattlers.com, over the phone at (920) 733-4152, or in person at the Timber Rattlers Ticket Office located at Fox Cities Stadium.
