The Timber Rattlers have been a terrific partner for the Community Blood Center. The team has been extremely creative in finding ways to increase the awareness of the need for local blood donations all summer long. All of the program elements were so easy to activate and the T-Rats made sure we had all of the support imaginable.

Thousands catch your message with every crack of the bat! The most time honored method of ballpark advertising enables you to display your company’s brand during all events held year round at Fox Cities Stadium. Signage is highly visible during live TV broadcasted games.
ON-FIELD PROMOTIONS On-Field promotions are a unique form of entertainment that provide fans with more than just a baseball game, it exposes your business to a captive audience. An ordinary sponsorship becomes a memorable one when fans are not only able to recall the name of the sponsor, but also its personality.
PLAYBALL! GAME PROGRAM ADVERTISEMENT The Timber Rattlers official full color game program is not your typical game program. Our fans do not purchase this “PLAYBALL” program, it is handed out for free to all fans as they enter the park. These collectible programs are packed with player information, up-coming ballpark promotions, and weekly featured stories. Space is limited to ensure sponsor ads are placed adjacent to team content.
The Timber Rattlers offer a variety of promotional giveaway nights, limited only by our imaginations, tailored to help your business reach its target audience. Our sponsors have used these giveaway items as walking billboards by positioning their logo along with the Timber Rattlers on baseball caps, bobbleheads, t-shirts, seat cushions, BBQ grill sets...the options are endless! As the sponsor of the giveaway, your company will receive the power behind our advertising including mentions in our pocket schedules, newspaper and radio ads, the official game program, our live TV and radio broadcasts, and in-stadium high resolution video scoreboard ads.
SUITES
The private setting of a VIP suite is the perfect way to entertain clients or share in the exciting baseball action with friends and co-workers. Suites seat up to 20 people and include climate control, comfortable private seating both inside and outdoors, cable TV, wait service or pre-ordered menus, and full service bar for a true upscale ballpark experience.
