In the Marketplace

Steve Prestegard has the cover story in the latest edition of Marketplace Magazine and it is available on-line.

Just go read the whole thing because there are some good things in there. But, I wanted to pull this quote from a former Rattler employee...
Pete Schueppert, sports sales manager for the Fox Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau, says the new affiliation "has the potential" to improve the Timber Rattlers’ regional economic impact, "just because of the fact they will have potential future stars for the Brewers play, and that would increase the likelihood that there will be an increase in out-of-town visitors.

"It’s absolutely going to be a good thing in attracting visitors to the area. The Brewers have got a state following, like all pro sports teams and the University of Wisconsin have. The fact that the Timber Rattlers have connected themselves to that fan base, that’s definitely going to help attendance."
I was trying to copy and paste the cover photo of Rob Zerjav and Doug Melvin, but instead, I'll just send you to this link that should be good while this issue is active.
