This is a decent size stadium to host any events that's happening. From sports to cook off festival, you're likely have a good time celebrating any occasion. Plenty of parking spaces which you'll never have to worry about finding one unless you come out early for a much better spot. I can't say how the seats are in the stadium since everything was happening up at the entrance, but the men's restroom was clean without any issues so that's good in my book.

The Met (baseball stadium) and Finley Center

We attended 14 baseball games during SEC week, so I've spent a lot of time at The Met this past week. I honestly have no negative things to say! The event staff was so friendly and were working so hard!! The bathrooms were clean every single time I used them. They had to be cleaning them constantly! They also had extra staff on site to spruce up the bleacher areas between games! The entry process was quick and easy with plenty of entry terminals (bag check, metal detectors, and ticket check). They also had a easy stamp process for re-entry so you could leave a session and come back into the stadium if you wanted to. Plenty of parking onsite as well! They offer stadium seats and bleacher seating (as well as box seating). The bleachers have a backrest which is really nice to have a little added support. Yes, the food prices are ball park prices (so not cheap), but for a sports complex, I didn't think they were super high, $5 nachos, $4 32oz drinks. They offer pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken fingers, fries, turkey wraps, peanuts, popcorn, candy, sodas (fountain or bottle), body armor sports drinks, bottled water. They also have carts set up with Dippin Dots ($5) and frozen lemonades, as well as a fresh lemonade stand ($7), and of course funnel cakes ($7). We had a great week and were impressed with The Met! They operated with a high level of excellence!

The Hoover Met has been the site of the SEC baseball tournament since 1998. I am biased because I live in Hoover, but I can't image a better location for this annual event. Good weather (average temperture for May between 60 and 82), centrally located from the SEC schools, and a first class venue that was a AA minor league park. There is not a bad seat in the stadium, and the capacity (around 11,000) is ideal for this event. The field is beautiful, and the gounds keepers do a fantastic job of getting it ready for each game. The city of Hoover continues to invest in improvements to the park. Some recent changes have included new signage, a new sound system, and moving the bull pens to beyond the outfield walls. After the 2016 tournament is completed, the Met will be expanded to become a multi-purpose sports complex. The changes will include: an indoor facility, updates to the adjacent RV park, and improved parking and traffic flow. If you are a fan of college baseball, the SEC Tournament at the Hoover Met is the next best thing to the College World Series in Omaha.

Here for the SEC Baseball Tournament (maybe for the last time) Overall the stadium is pretty nice but a little dated. Hoover has maintained it well but the concourse not being open and restroom facilities are not in line with more contemporary stadiums. Effort was made to improve the parking and traffic situation over previous years but there was still some room for improvement. However it was much better than some other municipal stadiums I have attended sporting events at. I hope the tournament remains here if only for selfish convenience reasons.

Turf is inconsistent and doesn't drain well. There is ample parking and lots of spectator room. Easy to locate within the city.

Went out today for The Taste of Louisiana and had a really great time. All of the participants were very friendly and it was so much food. The Apostles With Fire were my favorite!

The name has changed...now Hoover Metropolitan Stadium...Regions is the name of the Barrons stadium on the Southside of Bham.. I wish baseball would come back to Hoover... Love the location and the venue

Soccer time.

This is a nice gem in Hoover Alabama. Since the Birmingham Barons moved out it doesn't get used as much but it hosts the SEC baseball tournament. It has hosted the NCAA soccer championships. Hoover highschool's football team has played here often. Plenty of parking. Good facilities. Wish they could secure more events like maybe concerts.

One of the best ball parks in America to watch minor league baseball. Ticket prices are reasonable and they have a great area for kids to play. Very safe environment with on site parking. It's a great family night out at the old ball game without the major league price tag!!!

A Taste of Louisiana was a great event and the "Met" was an ideal location to host it at because of all the open ground space.

Tickets were half as much as they were in Atlanta so I drove to Birmingham for a mini-break! Parking can be pre-purchased online starting at $20 but there was a line of cars to enter so arrive early. Even though I had $25 nosebleed seats (shoutout to Live Nation's 1/2 off sale), the screens made it easy to see and the acoustics were great! Both performers were AMAZING! The line moved fairly quickly and I had no issues with security or staff (unlike State Farm). But an end row seat meant I had to frequently stand to to let people in. Patrons were super friendly. We all sang along to Maze's "Before I Let Go" as we exited. Rest in heaven Frankie Beverly.. I didn't order anything or use the restrooms so I can't comment on the amenities or food yet. But it was a pleasant experience. I recommend Legacy Arena BJCC and will return. Pics to come on my next visit!

Wow, the BJCC has been around for a minute! It opened in 1976 and can seat up to 16,250 for…read moreconcerts. The late great John Denver performed the first concert at the BJCC coliseum (known today as the Legacy Arean) on Sept. 28, 1976! Growing up, the BJCC was a big entertainment destination because few and far between were the "great" entertainment acts who visited my hometown of Huntsville, AL. Over the years, I've seen lots of great acts at the BJCC, including Van Halen [pre Van Hagar days] numerous times starting in August 1981, the legendary The Who on November 30, 1982, Kid Rock numerous times, and attended an excellent Alanis Morisette show here! It's nice to have the Uptown Entertainment District nearby and the extensive modernization of the arena in 2020 enhanced the lighting and sound systems, concessions, and amenities for artists. Well done Majic City!
