Memphis Redbirds

I finally got to visit this stadium this summer. What a fun time! What took me so long to visit!?! We paid for the cheap seats (outfield grass area) and had so much fun standing and watching the game while the boys played with other children around them. The park was clean and well kept from what I was able to walk around in. Plus, the bathrooms were clean and well stocked even towards the end of the game. Food and the merchandise was pricey, but what do you expect for minor league souvenirs?

Warm night in Memphis and decided to check out a game. Tickets were plentiful, but it’s kind of dumb that tickets are $ 2 more on game day, even though the stadium was only half full (at most). Sat behind the plate and had a good view. Food is slightly cheaper than at Busch Stadium but still too expensive. They need more craft beer choices. Saw quite a few known Cards players, so that was fun, and a walk-​off double was a great way to end the game (against the Iowa Cubs).

Great venue! Fun for the entire family. Not a bad seat in the entire park. Plenty of parking in garages close to park. Parked directly across from main entrance. Must see while in Memphis, Great food and fun at a top notch ballpark!

One of the most pleasant experiences one could enjoy. I see an outing upcoming JOELLE

We have such a good time at the Redbirds’ games! Especially when they win, like they did this last night we went! Be sure to go on a Fireworks Saturday. They have the BEST displays! There’s a good selection of food, and the energy is always upbeat and fun in the stadium.

Great family fun! What a great way to spend the evening. Classic Americana! Had a great time, enjoyed the game and all the festivities. Great fireworks after it was over.
Not a bad seat in the stadium. Have been three times and have sat in different sections each time. Never had a bad seat. Kids loves the action of the game.
Be sure and try the chicken nachos!!!

Great experience. I think the hot dogs could be better. Took my nephews and they had a good time in the play area. We spent most of the time in the outfield grass. I think kids like that better than the stands.

It’s baseball season and the weather is beautiful, so over the weekend the bf and I enjoyed a game at Autozone Park. To make this date affordable we purchased tickets on the bluff, aka a grassy hill beyond 3^rd base. You’re allowed to bring blankets and cushions but not folding chairs.
I should mention that the bluff isn’t really a «romantic» place to sit as there are tons of kids running around. But the parents are good about watching their kids and everyone gets along well. If its not your thing the cheapest seats are $ 11 pre sale and $ 13 at the door.
After a few innings we decided to get some food. It’s definitely a Memphis thing but I just feel a kind of obligation to get BBQ nachos at a sporting event, so that’s what we got. However there’s plenty of food options — burgers, hotdogs, pizza, deli sandwiches, catfish, and all the typical snack foods. We also split a soda, which unlike the forum is not refillable: (. Here’s a little tip for you — ask for no ice; soda comes out of the tap cool and you will get twice as much without the pesky ice taking up the room. Non refillable beverage aside, the concession prices aren’t terrible. We decided to eat at the picnic tables since BBQ nachos can be a little messy. Picnic tables are near the kiddie area next to the bluff or in the outfield seating way beyond first base.
Tummys satisfied we headed back to our blanket spot to watch the game some more. Personally, I do find baseball a little boring, I cannot sit through 9 innings without a few breaks. But it seems to be a sport where crowd chatting is a-​ok. And Autozone park in a nice facility so it’s cool to just walk around when you need a little break.
Sadly the redbirds lost the game. Oh well! We still had fun. As soon as the game ended the field was set up for the aftergame fireworks. While the field was set up there was a drum line to entertain the crowd, they were great and I appreciate the distraction. Then it was time for the finale. The fireworks were great! In honor of the 15^th anniversary there will be fireworks at every Saturday home game. After fireworks there was a band playing in the main area by the entrance.
If you really want to save money, on Tuesdays, popcorn, sodas and hot dogs are $ 2

I’ve lived in Memphis for nearly a year now, and have wanted to check out a Memphis Redbirds game. Last week, we finally blocked out some time to make this happen. We arrived to AutoZone Park and were able to purchase tickets for the bluffs in relatively fast fashion. We get to the front gate and have our bags checked; the girlfriend is forced to throw away two unopened bottles of water, but we figure «hey, I guess it’s the policy» so we move on.
We enter the facility and are pleased with how clean of a venue it is, and there truly was no bad seat in the house. There were also PLENTY of activities for kids to do, so if you have children, this is a fabulous outing. We find a place on the bluffs and lay out our blanket to enjoy the game. During the game, they’ll have a lot of family-​friendly activities going on. I like the fact that they invest so much time and effort into making this a family event; it is good for the city of Memphis.
We then go to get our concessions. We grab a soda in souvenir cup which was $ 5.50 and not refillable; I know that stadium prices are typically high, but that doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. We also got BBQ nacho’s for $ 9.75. This was not as terrible of a deal, but I think for the price, you should get more nachos. Funnel cake was $ 5, and that seemed reasonable.
We continued to watch the game and were crowded by a TON of people. That is one warning I’ll issue about the bluffs; a kid will run into you while you’re seated. Speaking of kids and the «policy» spoken of earlier, a family sitting right next to us busted out a ton of snacks and drinks brought from outside the stadium for their kids. I find it hard to imagine that all of this food was hidden from security sight. Long story short, either allow food and drink or don’t.
The end of the game had a fireworks show; this will be occurring every Saturday to celebrate the 15^th anniversary. This was one of the best fireworks show I’ve ever seen. I’d probably come back several times just for the fireworks show.
Now for one significant gripe. We left the stadium out of a side gate and noticed as we were walking by that they had a pretty awesome band playing on the inside, so we wanted to come back inside and enjoy the band. Not only did security not let us back in despite us buying tickets citing «policy of ownership», but was EXCEPTIONALLY rude during the process. If management really wants people to leave, why have a band after the game? And even if that is the policy, security does not need to be rude about it. But I digress.
Issues with really shoddy security aside, this was a good experience and look forward to going back to another game in the future.

Affordable and fun! Great place for you to bring the kids or date night. They put on a great firework show and some pretty entertaining side line shorts. I am a very recent Baseball fan and always enjoy myself at a Redbirds game. Plus there isn’t really a bad seat in the house! My only complaint is that they are really, REALLY stingy with their balls and the ball boys will toss balls (on the rare occasion they toss balls) to adults over kids. They have a lot of food options, with pretty decent prices and a great area to keep kids entertained in some of the LONG innings that tend to happen.

Love minor league ball. Fun, cheap entertainment and in a great park like this one, time flies.
However.
One major, major flaw docked this operation two stars in my book. The club level seats have access to a nice air conditioned concourse with stepped-​up hotdogs etc. and basically semi-​private bathrooms. Really top notch — except for the the beer.
Inexplicably the lone craft beer station is down on the ground level. The nice club level concourse was all mass produced swill. This meant a hike down/​up two flights of stairs, with your ticket, through two sets of doors, past about four swill stations, to get to the good stuff.
At one point I thought about asking a manager type on the concourse level about this situation, but then I remembered past experiences and worried that he would point me to the Blue Moon and then I would have to slap him and that would end my night of baseball.
If you are a crafty guy or gal with better self-​control, maybe you can venture to ask someone at AutoZone Park about this bizarre set up. I’d love to hear the rationale. From a distance.

Redbirds staff is wonderful! If you need anything ask!

Great stadium! Had such a fun time with my family. They have plenty going on for the kids too. They have a playground, bouncy house, blowup slide, carnival type rides and games, and of course tons of junk food! Just make sure to bring cash for the rides because they can not accept credit card. The food was the normal baseball park goodies. We did venture over to rendezvous for some BBQ nachos that were rather pricey ($ 9.75) and not the best I have ever had. Other than the nacho mistake me and my daughter kept busy while my husband enjoyed the game. Can’t wait to come see another game soon!.

Full disclosure: I’m a Boston Red Sox fan. I was born there, I cannot control fate and destiny. Plus, I love them, no matter what. (It’s been tough this season…)
Anyhow, I really love the Memphis Redbirds. Before I moved here, I thought my days of watching baseball in person were over. Admittedly, I had no clue there was a minor league team here. Thank the LORD there is one.
AutoZone Park is phenomenal. For a minor league stadium, it is gorgeous. I love that you can walk around and stretch your legs when you need to. The bluff is cool: cheap seats where you can let your kiddos run around.
Food is awesome and relatively inexpensive. BBQ NACHOS. DO IT. You won’t be sorry. Beer is beer, but they have Ghost River, so that’s pretty awesome in my book.
Seriously, I can’t figure out why the games don’t have more people attending. This is a place you can’t pass up.

Redbirds game is a fun time for the entire family. Highly recommend. Location is nice with famous landmarks of Memphis, The Peabody Hotel, Sun Studios, nearby, and the smell of great Bar-​B-​Que is everywhere.

Memphis — short drive from STL, great music, great food … oh and great baseball!
The Redbirds are the minor league affiliate of the Cardinals. I can honestly say I have enjoyed the Rebirds game probably a lot more than the Cardinals game. They really gear their stadium and team for the fans. After every inning there is some sort of fan base going on down on the field. Prices won’t break your wallet for tickets and fun once you’re there and if you’re lucky, you’ll see fireworks set to Elvis music on the weekends.
Memphis…and the Rebirds… have found new fans for life!

Redbirds games are always a fun and reasonably priced family outing. Auto Zone Park is quite impressive for a AAA stadium. In addition to their huge screen, they have several games and activities to keep the kids busy if they get antsy.
The food and beer are a little pricey, and the food is just mediocre. I would suggest eating before the game.
Redbird’s games are a great way to see players that are recovering or likely to move up to major league, as the Redbirds are a triple A affiliate of the St Louis Cardinals.
We like going when they have a firework show after the game, but they almost always have something special going on there. It’s definitely worth the money!

What a fantastic ballpark! Great location, inexpensive priced tickets and fabulous food for a stadium. Largest big screen in minor league baseball officially installed this year. Plus– you can walk around the entire stadium around the outfield– not every ballpark allows spectators this luxury.
Friday nights they have bands and if you go early you can catch happy hour prices.
My only disappointment is that there is no place for tailgating. Be prepared to pay around $ 5 for parking in the parking garage and $ 7 and up for tickets.
The lawn area is a nice option if you want to head out for a cheap game with a family picnic experience.
Be sure to order the local beer (Ghostriver) and the local BBQ (Rendezvous nachos). Beware, the summer games are hot, hot, hot.
Note: if you’re headed for a weekend game, order and print your tickets before you arrive to save some time from standing in line.

Great ballpark! Go Redbirds!

I had the opportunity to attend a weeknight game and a «behind the dugout» tour of the stadium this week. I learned a lot more about this great home town team.
The facility we have in our city is amazing. It is state of the art and run by some really great folks. The music they play during the game is courtesy of a live organist, I also thought it was taped. They really take care of visiting teams too. They have great clubhouse facilities and their press get their own radio booth and box. The Redbird players have their own clubhouse, family room, indoor play area and batting cages. Oh Rockie has his own dressing room too :)
The suites are amazing. If you do not have access to a corporate suite you can still rent one out for special events. When we were there it was set up for a rehearsal dinner, what a great venue for such an event.
The AV equipment is top notch, Auto Zone park features the largest video score board in minor league baseball. There are a lot of opportunities to host events here of all sizes and it’s the perfect downtown Memphis location.
We saw a Thursday night game and the weather was amazing. It’s the perfect place to spend a fall night in downtown Memphis. Week night games are not as crowded and the kids had the play area almost to themselves. They also had the chance to get Rocky the Redbird and some players to sign their balls. So much fun! We are lucky to have this great facility and team in our city.
