Tim McCarver Stadium

Tim McCarver Stadium

Tim McCarver Stadium was a stadium in Memphis, Tennessee. It was primarily used for baseball and was the home of the Memphis Blues (1968-1976), the Memphis Chicks (1978-1997), and the Memphis Redbirds (1998-1999).

The ballpark had a capacity of 8,800 people and opened in 1968. It was named after then- major league baseball catcher and current commentator, Tim McCarver.

The facility replaced Russwood Park, the previous baseball park, after its destruction by fire in 1960 which effectively sent Memphis baseball into dormancy for several years. Tim McCarver Stadium was in turn replaced by AutoZone Park in 2000. The stadium was demolished in 2005.
