There are eight
stadiums in use by
Southern League (SL)
baseball teams. The oldest stadium is
AT&T Field (2000) in
Chattanooga, Tennessee , home of the
Chattanooga Lookouts . The newest stadium is
Toyota Field (2020) in
Madison, Alabama , home of the
Rocket City Trash Pandas . Four stadiums were built in the 2000s, three in the 2010s, and one in the 2020s. The highest seating capacity is 8,500 at
Regions Field in
Birmingham, Alabama , where the
Birmingham Barons play. The lowest capacity is 5,038 at
Admiral Fetterman Field in
Pensacola, Florida , where the
Pensacola Blue Wahoos play. All stadiums use a grass surface.
Since its founding, there have been 34 stadiums located among 27
municipalities known to have been used by the league. Although a few other leagues had contributed to the history of the SL, it was decided that the league would not maintain records prior to the 1964 season.
[1] Therefore, the list does not include
stadiums from its predecessor leagues. The oldest stadium to have hosted SL games is
Rickwood Field (1910), home of the
Birmingham Barons ; Toyota Field is also the newest of all stadiums to host SL games. The highest known
seating capacity was 17,000 at
Herschel Greer Stadium , the
Nashville Sounds home. The stadium with the lowest known capacity was Knights Park, home of the
Charlotte Hornets and
Charlotte O's/Knights , which seated only 3,000.
