Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute, WI - a suburb of Appleton, WI - is the home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Milwaukee Brewers' High-A Midwest League farm team. It was also the Brewers' 2020-2021 Coronavirus pandemic alternate training site.

When Fox Cities Stadium opened in 1995, the Appleton Foxes changed both their locale name and their nickname - but the corporate name remained Appleton Baseball Inc. until Third Base Ventures bought the operation in 2020. Named after the Fox River, "Fox Cities" is a region containing 20 different municipalities with Appleton being the largest. The stadium has an Appleton ZIP code but maps show it lies physically in Grand Chute.

On March 9, 2007, it was announced that local cable provider Time Warner Cable had signed a 10-year deal securing naming rights to the physical playing field making the park's full name Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. The cable company opted out seven years into the contract, and the current sponsor stepped in immediately. Although both contracts named the field rather than the stadium, their names were fully incorporated into primary ballpark signage.

Like most minor league ballparks, this one is undergoing renovations largely required by new standards MLB enacted in its 2021 Minor League Reorganization. This renovation, however, is different from most others in two ways: It is privately financed work on a ballpark its club owns, and it is expected to be substantially finished when the 2023 season starts - two years earlier than the end of the phase-in period.

FCS replaced Goodland Field in Appleton proper. It is one of the few modern minor league parks without skyboxes. It does, however, have a unique take on something other teams do. Many shoot goods into the stands with an air cannon. Usually, the "something" is T-shirts; here, the air cannon is called a Bratzooka and the products are bratwurst sandwiches.[1]
