Hank Aaron Stadium, Sports venue in Mobile, United States
Hank Aaron Stadium is a baseball park in Mobile, Alabama. It has a capacity of 6,000 and features luxury suites at field level, which raises the general public's infield seating by about 20 feet (6 meters).
The city council voted in 1995 to build the ballpark and name it after Aaron, and it opened in 1997. It hosted the Mobile BayBears until 2019, then the team moved and the site closed permanently in 2022.
The ballpark is named after Hank Aaron, a Mobile native and baseball's home run king. Outside, a plaque honors each local player inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
The stadium is permanently closed, so visitors cannot enter or attend games. You can still see the outside and the commemorative plaque, but check local sources before planning a visit.
The luxury suites sit at field level, so the general public's infield seats are raised about 20 feet (6 meters) above the field. Hank Aaron's childhood home, once a museum on the property, was moved to another site in Mobile in 2023.
