The Barons play in Hoover Metropolitan Stadium , located in Hoover, Alabama. They moved there in 1987 from historic Rickwood Field in downtown Birmingham. They still play one "throwback" game each season in period uniforms at the old park.
The Barons were briefly involved in a media frenzy by virtue of being the minor-league club that Michael Jordan played for in 1994 after his first retirement from basketball.
