The first game on their schedule is the 2013 home opener at newly renovated Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium when the Rattlers host the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Monday, April 8. Timber Rattlers Field Pass, a half hour show that goes inside the Rattlers clubhouse for player interviews, coaching tips and behind the scene features, also returns for another season on the channel.

"Time Warner Cable SportsChannel has been a tremendous partner for the Timber Rattlers allowing our games to be shown not only in Northeastern Wisconsin, but into the Milwaukee market as well. We look forward to our new relationship with My NEW32 and hope these two partnerships will allow the Timber Rattlers fans that cannot attend each game, the opportunity to catch the Brewers prospects from the comfort of their own homes."
