Renovations to Sustain a Baseball Franchise

Written by: Chris Mehring, Director, Media Relations, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are almost done with their first major renovations to Neuroscience Group Field since 2013. These renovations add new premium seating areas, comply with new standards set by major League Baseball for players, and enhance the fan experience with a signature homage to the Milwaukee Brewers that will catch everyone’s eye.

Before we get to that, let’s mention that there have been a few slight changes to the stadium since the last renovation to the stadium.

Eland Electric installed 88 solar panels on the roof of the pavilion at the end of the first base concourse in 2017 to help power the stadium with clean energy. Musco Lighting installed LED lights before the start of the 2022 season to improve lighting at the stadium while reducing energy and maintenance costs by up to 85% compared to the old lighting system.

For 2023, the new seating areas include the Johnson Financial Group Diamond Seats behind home plate, expanded concourses to create additional handicap accessible seating down both lines, and three new outdoor suites atop a rebuilt left field wall.

The stadium has a full 360° concourse to allow fans to take in the view of the action from anywhere around the ballpark. New restrooms have also been installed at the end of the first base concourse.

Technology upgrades will allow fans to order food from any seat in the stadium using the First Pitch app. They can just order through their phone, skip the line, and pick up at the concession stand. In-stadium wi-fi has been upgraded to make this process even easier.

Players are going to enjoy a new clubhouse with dual batting cages, expanded weightroom, an agility field, and plenty of modern comforts.

The tribute to Bernie Brewer is what fans will be talking about this season. The Capital Credit Union Slide is a 30-foottall structure located next to the Left Field Suites. This ride won’t be limited to mascots. Fans will be allowed to take a slide after taking in the view from the top during Timber Rattlers home games this season.

Attending a Wisconsin Timber Rattlers game in 2023 is going to be an experience that you have never had before. Make your plans to get out to Neuroscience Group Field this season and take a fresh look!
