Green Bay Bullfrogs (Northwoods League) 2019-future

Capital Credit Union Park is a proposed multi-purpose stadium to be built in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, a suburb of Green Bay. In 2019 it will become home to the Green Bay Bullfrogs of the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer baseball league. Upon moving the team will be renamed in a "Name the Team Contest". The stadium will also host a to-be-named summer collegiate soccer team and a variety of community athletic and social events.[1]

Site constraints will limit the distances to center and right field, a problem which will be addressed with a high outfield wall. The height of the wall has been announced as 19-feet, 19-inches in a nod to the nearby Green Bay Packers' inaugural season in 1919.[4] The wall will be made of shipping containers, chosen as being relatively inexpensive and able to handle a high wind load.[2]

Team owner Big Top Baseball has committed to a 20-year lease, paying $500,000 up-front and $205,000 annually for five years followed by 1 percent increases annually for the remaining years.[3]
