WAAY31 talked to locals and heard name suggestions including: Madison Margaritas, Rocket City Rocketeers, Huntsville Hornets, and Madison Moonraker.According to contest rules the fan who submits the winning name will win 5 season tickets, a jersey, and an opportunity to throw the first pitch.

One curve ball might be an agreement between the city of Madison and Ballcorps llc. Waay 31 reported in March that team naming rights belong to Ballcorps, but according to the agreement the team name must include the word “Madison.”
The ball park here is set to open in 2020.
