Goodland Field stadium opened in 1940 as the Spencer Street Athletic Field and was primarily used for baseball. The first team to play in the stadium was the Appleton Papermakers, who played there from 1940 and 1953. The primary team to play at the field, however, was the Appleton/Fox Cities Foxes, who played there from 1958 until 1994. The team then moved to Fox Cities Stadium, becoming the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the 1995 season. Goodland Field's most famous player may have been New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who played a short time in the venue's final season.
Goodland Field was taken over by the Appleton Area School District, which converted the site into a sports complex and renamed it for retired high school teacher and coach Mary Beth Nienhaus.
