by Regions Financial Corporation in 2007, resulting in the stadium being renamed Regions Park. On December 20, 2012 – following the Barons' exit – the City of Hoover announced it was changing the name of the ballpark back to its original name: Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. The name change took effect January 1, 2013. Regions continued its sponsorship of the Barons, and the team's new stadium in Birmingham became known as Regions Field. The Hoover Met hosted the Alabama Crimson Tide during the 2015 season while its on-campus stadium in Tuscaloosa, Sewell–Thomas Stadium, underwent major renovations. As part of the agreement, outfield fences were moved in to more closely match the dimensions of TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, home of the College World Series. The new configuration remained in place for the 2015 Southeastern Conference baseball tournament.
