Regions Field, Baseball stadium in Southside, Birmingham, Alabama, U.S.
Regions Field is a baseball stadium in Birmingham home to the Birmingham Barons minor league team, with an open layout and modern features including digital scoreboards and seating that provides clear views from most sections. The venue accommodates families and groups comfortably with dedicated areas and accessible pathways throughout.
The Barons were founded in 1885 as charter members of the original Southern League. They played at Rickwood Field from 1910 to 1987, then moved to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. After a 2009 proposal, a lodging tax was raised in 2010, and the $60 million Regions Field opened on April 10, 2013, against the Mississippi Braves.
The stadium reflects the community's connection to minor league baseball and its role as a gathering place where neighbors of all ages come together during game season. Local pride centers on the Birmingham Barons' legacy and the tradition of supporting homegrown talent that has moved on to professional baseball.
The stadium sits near downtown Birmingham and is accessible by car or public transportation with nearby parking available for visitors. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate on game day, and the venue offers ample concession stands, restrooms, and shaded seating areas for comfort during warm weather.
The playing field sits 16 feet below street level, so fans enter at the main concourse on 14th Street South and First Avenue South and look down onto the diamond. Designers took cues from Rickwood Field and Sloss Furnaces, and the outfield backdrop frames the downtown skyline, UAB and Red Mountain.
