Rickwood Field is a ballpark located in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. It is the oldest existing professional baseball stadium in the country, as it was built for the Birmingham Barons in 1910 by industrialist and team-owner Rick Woodward. It has served as the home park for the Birmingham Barons and the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro leagues. Though the Barons moved their home games to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium after the 1988 season, Rickwood Field has been preserved and is undergoing gradual restoration as a "working museum" where baseball's history can be experienced. The Barons also play one regular season game a year at Rickwood Field. Rickwood Field is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Birmingham chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research is named after the historic ballpark.
