We love attending Memphis Redbirds baseball games at AutoZone Park. The Redbirds are a minor league baseball team affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals. There is nothing better than enjoying a delicious hot dog, peanuts, and watching America’s favorite past time. On the beautiful spring and summer nights, watching a game is truly a pleasure. Take in the great outdoors and cheer on our local team!
