Written by Stadium Talk author Craig Lazzeretti, the article “Best Minor League Baseball Parks” pays tribute to the smaller, more affordable baseball venues across America. While Major League Baseball stadiums like Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are household names, these smaller minor league parks are usually more accessible to fans.

Here’s what author Craig Lazzeretti wrote about Regions Field:

“Less than six years old, Regions Field is among the newest parks in the minors, but it was designed to reflect the town’s industrial past by incorporating brick and steel into its facade.

It also is among the most family-friendly parks in the minors, featuring a Youth Sports Zone housing a mini Wiffle ball field, a family fun park and batting cages.

The ‘Switchyard on 14th,’ opened in 2017, offers food, beverage and outdoor game space. For adults, “The Barstream” includes 20 draft beers on tap and a full bar selection.”
