Regions Field

The crown jewel of Birmingham's newly developed Parkside District, features a variety of unique seating areas, creating an intimate atmosphere and offering unique views of the downtown skyline, UAB, Children's Hospital, Vulcan and Red Mountain.
During development, the design team including HKS, Inc. and Hoskins Architecture worked to ensure that the ballpark drew on the rich heritage and history of Birmingham. In making Regions Field a truly unique ballpark, they considered the city's rich baseball heritage, the civil rights movement and drew heavily on the city's steel manufacturing past. The facade utilizes brick and steel, paying homage to Birmingham's industrial past and blending the ballpark with the surrounding neighborhood. Additional design elements inspired by Rickwood Field and Sloss Furnaces were utilized in the physical design.

A spacious 360-degree concourse allows fans to see the action on the field as they move throughout the ballpark. Fans can also visit the center field entertainment area, which features the Coors Light Cool Zone for adult fans and a Dreamland BBQ Stand.
Regions Field also has a number of group areas perfect for hosting events and parties.

The Parkside Picnic Area and Edwards Chevrolet Center Field Berm offer large outdoor areas for groups up to 1,500.
