Rickwood Field, a former home of the Birmingham Barons

There are eight stadiums in use by Southern League (SL) baseball teams. The oldest stadium is Pinnacle Park (1926) in Columbus, Georgia, which became the home of the Columbus Clingstones in 2025. The newest stadium is Erlanger Park (2026) in Chattanooga, Tennessee, home of the Chattanooga Lookouts. One stadium was built in each of the 1920s and 2000s, and three in each of the 2010s and 2020s. The highest seating capacity is 8,500 at Regions Field in Birmingham, Alabama, where the Birmingham Barons play. The lowest capacity is 5,038 at Blue Wahoos Stadium in Pensacola, Florida, where the Pensacola Blue Wahoos play. All stadiums use a grass surface.

Since its founding, there have been nearly 40 stadiums located among nearly 30 municipalities known to have been used by the league. Although a few other leagues had contributed to the history of the SL, it was decided that the league would not maintain records prior to the 1964 season.[1] Therefore, the list does not include stadiums from its predecessor leagues. The oldest stadium to have hosted SL games is Rickwood Field (1910), home of the Birmingham Barons; Erlanger Park is also the newest of all stadiums to host SL games. The highest seating capacity was 17,000 at Herschel Greer Stadium, the Nashville Sounds home. The stadium with the lowest capacity was Knights Park, home of the Charlotte Hornets and Charlotte O's/Knights, which seated only 3,000.
