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!

    I attended the Ballin in Boutwell event here recently. I was excited as this was my first time…read moreattending. I also have not been to the Boutwell in decades. lol The event had dedicated parking $30 , at the attached lot. I thought this was insane but being in downtown Birmingham at NOON, parking options are limited. Getting into the event was easy. There was a security checkpoint. However, locating my seat was not easy. The event staff wasn't very helpful. The few I saw. The seating was not clear based on what was printed on the ticket..... I just sat wherever. Pretty much all of the seats were decent at this event. Overall, this was a fun sporting event. I would like to see more workers available to assist guests. Also better signage to help navigate throughout the venue.

    Today's "Get Fit While You Sit" event was so awesome. Thank you Sheila Tyson, Sam Anderson (DJ…read moreMaestro), Big Mucci, Lois Germany, Luther and everyone else that poured into this annual event. Everything is free, even parking in the parking deck. Amazing workout, nice lunch, turkey, ham or chicken salad boxed on exit. Seniors from all over were there. One senior was 98. Anyone can attend and the exercise is worth the attendance. lol. It will be televised maestro and Luther has classes all over the city. Most are free and those are sponsored. Next year help make the event a record breaker. I support this event

    Rickwood Field is located in Birmingham, Alabama, is the oldest surviving professional baseball…read morepark in the United States, originally opening on August 18, 1910. Often referred to as "America's Oldest Ballpark," it has stood for over a century as a living monument to the sport, civil rights, and Southern culture. In 1936, it became one of the first minor league ballparks in the country to install distinctive field lights, allowing for night baseball.A Pillar of the Negro Leagues (1920-1963)Shared Home: During an era of strict segregation, the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues began playing their home games at Rickwood as early as 1920.The "Every Other Sunday" Tradition: Because the white Barons and Black Barons could not play against each other or share the field, the teams shared the stadium by alternating schedules, a tradition famously known as "Every Other Sunday".Willie Mays: The legendary Willie Mays grew up in the Birmingham area and launched his professional career with the Black Barons at Rickwood in 1948. The minor league Barons eventually outgrew the stadium and moved to a larger venue in 1987. After Comiskey Park in Chicago was demolished in 1990, Rickwood officially inherited the title of America's oldest ballpark.Hollywood Sets: Sitting empty for several years, the stadium was later rented as a filming location for classic baseball movies such as Cobb (1995), Soul of the Game (1996), and 42 (2013). Willie Mays began his professional career with the Negro Leagues' Birmingham Black Barons at Rickwood. Other notable legends like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Ernie Banks, and Hank Aaron (who played for the Indianapolis Clowns) all competed at the historic stadium. Early pioneers like Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb played on the field, alongside Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, and Reggie Jackson. Bo Jackson also played on the field early in his career.

    Finally had a chance to visit historic Rickwood Field. What a priceless step back in time and…read morehistory. The park has the feel of a smaller Fenway Park when you visit. The park has a museum and mementos that display historical images and artifacts of when the Barons and Black Barons played here including Willie Mays. Seeing the old souvenir booth, gates, refreshment stand, etc was a walk back in time. If you are a baseball fan or just a history fan you need to visit Rickwood Field if you have the chance.
