Title: New Birmingham Barons ballpark has businesses in on deck circle for luxury seats Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on January 29, 2012, 10:53:32 AM http://blog.al.com/businessnews/2012/01/new_downtown_birmingham_barons.html#incart_hbx
Quote The Barons are relocating from Regions Park in Hoover to the stadium adjacent to Railroad Park on Birmingham's Southside. Logan said the Barons organization has already received commitments for more than half of the planned 26 luxury suites. The $64 million stadium is expected to open in time for the start of the Barons' April 2013 baseball season. There has already been strong interest in the 400 club suites that go on sale beginning with the 11 a.m. ground-breaking Thursday, Logan said. The club-level seating will allow baseball fans to either sit outside and watch Barons games, or go inside to a large bar area. I don't want to be negative. I am not sure how well this will work. My daughter and many of her friends attend the Barons games at Regions park in Hoover fairly often. Easy to get to, easy to find parking and it is in a safe, quiet neighborhood area. She made the comment to me that she and others would not drive downtown, sit in a ball park next to the interstate to watch the games. JMHO |
