Nienhaus Field

[1] The ballpark opened in 1940 as the Spencer Street Athletic Field[2] and was primarily used for baseball.

[3] The team then moved to Fox Cities Stadium, becoming the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the 1995 season.

[3] Goodland Field was taken over by the Appleton Area School District, which converted the site into a sports complex and renamed it Nienhaus Field after Appleton West High School teacher and successful coach and 1994 Wisconsin State Golf Hall of Fame member, Mary Beth Nienhaus.

[6] Goodland Field's most famous player may have been New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who played a short time in the venue's final season, 1994.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Tom Gordon also played for the Foxes, between the time he was drafted in 1986 and when he was called up to the majors in 1988.
