they might could get the Braves to come play a series or two a year in Rickwood.


Idk man, I don't see any level of facelift being enough to convince the Braves to sacrifice any home games at their state of the art 41k stadium in order to play in a 115 yr old stadium that only seats 10k in another state. Let alone for an entire series, or a couple of series a year.

And think about how high the demand for tickets would be if the Braves decided to play a game in Birmingham, they would sell out a 50k stadium here, it would be a waste to have them play in front of only 10k


I actually saw the Braves and Hank Aaron, Rico Carty, and Felipe Alou play a game at Rickwood. Yeah, I'm that old.

Lol. Well it’s a shame the City of B’ham couldn’t come up with a plan to help out with parking and figure a way of getting more seats in. I’m sure MLB would be open to doing something there like they have done in Iowa with the FOD game. They at the very least might can get some team there to play during spring training.
