ASHWAUBENON (NBC 26) — The Booyah Northwoods League baseball franchise is undergoing a name change. Green Bay's Booyah baseball team will now go by the Green Bay Rockers.
The franchise announced the name change Wednesday. In a statement on the team's website, the change coincides with a grander plan to add concerts and other events at the stadium.
"Following new owner Mark Skogen acquiring Capital Credit Union Park and the Booyah Northwoods League baseball franchise last January, Boomerang Management is set to rename the team to the Green Bay Rockers," the team's statement said.
Boomerang Management also owns and operates the new entertainment venue Epic Event Center.
“There is so much synergy between the two venues, EPIC Event Center and Capital Credit Union Park, that it makes a lot of sense,” said owner Mark Skogen. “We are providing live entertainment down the street and hoping to bring the same level of excitement to the stadium for our community to enjoy.”
The team plans to unveil a new team mascot and player uniforms after the New Year. The 2022 Northwoods League schedule is slated to be released in late November.
