For more information on the new Regions Field safety measures click here.
“In the absence of Barons baseball thus far, we have been working hard so that Regions Field can continue to serve and satisfy the needs of this community in providing fun, safe, affordable entertainment. We believe in hosting these variety of baseball games along with our movies series we hope to fill that need.” said Barons President and General Manager Jonathan Nelson. “In addition to providing much-needed entertainment our goal in hosting these events is to work with the Jefferson County Health Department in creating a safe, effective plan adjusting to immediate COVID-19 requirements and giving the community confidence Regions Field has a plan in place approved by the Jefferson County Health Department.”
