The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are inviting fans to a special evening at Neuroscience Group Field in Grand Chute. On Wednesday, September 30, the team will project the documentary film Ueck on the stadium’s videoboard, giving the community a chance to celebrate the life and career of Wisconsin legend Bob Uecker.
About the film
Directed by Steve Farr and Michael T. Vollman, Ueck chronicles Uecker’s journey from his days as a Major League catcher to his iconic appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, his role on the sitcom Mr. Belvedere, and his long‑standing tenure as a Hall of Fame broadcaster. The documentary features rare archival footage, new interviews, and behind‑the‑scenes material that will appeal to longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Event details
Tickets are priced at $12 for adults and $7 for children twelve years old and younger. Fans can purchase tickets online via the link provided by the Timber Rattlers or at the box office on the night of the event. Parking will be free, with stadium gates opening at 6:00 p.m. The film is scheduled to begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.
Concessions will be available at the main stand on the first‑base concourse and in the Leinie Lodge, offering typical ballpark fare for families to enjoy while they watch. In addition, the Snake Pit Team Store will be open for the evening, selling limited‑edition Uecker hats and shirts for fans who want a souvenir of the night.
Why this matters to the community
Bob Uecker is more than a sports figure; he embodies the values of hard work, humor, and dedication that resonate with families across Wisconsin. By showcasing his story in a family‑friendly setting, the Timber Rattlers are providing an affordable, wholesome outing that reinforces community ties and celebrates local heritage.
The event also serves as a reminder of the Timber Rattlers’ commitment to offering diverse entertainment beyond baseball. While the team’s 2027 home opener is slated for Tuesday, April 6 against the Beloit Sky Carp, this September screening offers a unique mid‑season attraction that can draw families, seniors, and longtime baseball enthusiasts alike.
Plan your visit
Fans are encouraged to arrive early to take advantage of free parking and to explore the stadium’s amenities. With the videoboard’s high‑definition capabilities, viewers can expect a clear, immersive experience that does justice to the film’s archival material.
Whether you are a lifelong Uecker fan or simply looking for a pleasant evening out, the Timber Rattlers’ “Ueck” screening promises a memorable blend of sports history, entertainment, and community spirit.
