BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — The city of Birmingham is investing $900,000 into Rickwood Field. The city said the money will be used to make the facility more accessible. According to the Gerald Watkins, the executive director of the Friends of Rickwood, the ballpark was grandfathered into not having to meet Americans with Disabilities Act regulations. Now, it's choosing to make upgrades thanks to support from the city and in anticipation of some big games that are coming up. New regulations for hemp businesses could soon happen across Alabama if bill becomes law He said these are necessary upgrades that make sure everyone can enjoy baseball at Rickwood Field. 'We want the ballpark to be seen by as many people as possible, and we don't want those with special needs to have difficulties here,' Watkins said. 'So we are really happy those things are going to happen and as we come up on a very ambitious summer. We are going to have the SWAC tournament next week. We have the Barons coming back June 4 to play the Trash Pandas, the World Police and Fire Games, and we have the East-West Game.' There's no timetable for when these improvements will be made, but Watkins said temporary improvements will be made for events in the near future. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Known for their raw lyricism, driving rhythms and unapologetic energy, the Wisconsin based group has steadily built a loyal fanbase through relentless show bookings and a series of DIY releases.

The Rock Sun reissue of Rising Up due is out soon on digital and this summer on vinyl. The reissue will not have any changes made to it says Tom Hooks, Rock Sun Founder. 'When something is done right, you don't mess with it' Rock Sun Records launched in 2014, has quickly become a home for bold voices across a diverse amount of genres. With a focus on artist-first deals and genre-defiant acts, the label continues to stake it's claim as one of the most exciting players in the independent music landscape. Trash Pandas embody everything we look for at Rock Sun, truth, grit and a voice that cuts through the noise say Hooks.
