Trivia: In what state can you find the oldest professional ballpark in the U.S.?
Missouri
Tennessee
Alabama
North Carolina
The correct answer is Alabama
So why is this answer correct? : On August 18, 1910, Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, opened its doors as the Birmingham Barons took on the Montgomery Climbers. At the time of its construction, the stadium became the first concrete and steel ballpark in the minor leagues, and was named after local industrialist A.H. “Rick” Woodward. Though the Barons left Rickwood Field in 1987, they return once every year to play a game dubbed the “Rickwood Classic” in honor of the city’s rich baseball history.
