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);[10] 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[11][12] and 2021.[13]
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.[14]
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,[15] but it has also been reported as 22 feet.[6] The wall is made of shipping containers, chosen as being relatively inexpensive and able to handle a high wind load.[4] Going along with the baseball team's 2019–2021 name, the ballpark features the world's largest booyah kettle (2,000 gallons).[16]
Baseball team owner Big Top Baseball has committed to a 23-year lease, paying $500,000 up-front[3] and $205,000 annually for five years followed by 1% increases annually for the remaining years.[9]
In December 2020, Big Top baseball sold the Green Bay Booyah to Boomerang Stadium Holdings LLC/Boomerang Baseball LLC and took over the lease of Capital Credit Union Park.[2]
