Green Bay Rockers (

Capital Credit Union Park is a multi-purpose stadium in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, a suburb of Green Bay. The stadium is home to the Green Bay Rockers collegiate summer baseball team of the Northwoods League; [1] the Green Bay Glory women's soccer team of the USL W League (USLW); [9] and a variety of community athletic and social events. [1] The Green Bay Voyageurs FC men's soccer team of the USL League Two played at the stadium in 2019 [10] [11] and 2021. [12]
The Voyageurs christened the stadium with a 3–0 win over WSA Winnipeg on the morning of June 1, 2019 in a game postponed a day by rain. [7] [8] Later that day, the baseball team, then named the Green Bay Booyah, lost their inaugural home opener 12–6 to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. [13]
For baseball, site constraints limit the distances to center and right field, a problem addressed with a high outfield wall. The height of the wall was announced as 19-feet, 19-inches in a nod to the nearby Green Bay Packers' inaugural season in 1919, [14] but it has also been reported as 22 feet. [5] The wall is made of shipping containers, chosen as being relatively inexpensive and able to handle a high wind load. [3] Going along with the baseball team's 2019–2021 name, the ballpark features the world's largest booyah kettle (2,000 gallons). [15]
Baseball team owner Big Top Baseball has committed to a 23-year lease, paying $500,000 up-front [2] and $205,000 annually for five years followed by 1% increases annually for the remaining years. [6]
