From the reviews
A beautiful complex! Laid out nice. Turf fields, no spikes. Great parking. Entry fees with card reader only, no cash accepted at entry. Bleachers with shade. Can bring tents and chairs. Great concession options. No seeds or gum allowed. Clean restrooms.
Having been a lifelong fan of the SEC and the Fl Gators 🐊 I was very excited to attend my first SEC tournament this week. The Gators may have disappointed me but the Met certainly did not disappoint! This facility is built for such an event. I’m very impressed by the staff who are very friendly and polite.
Great sports complex, excellent parking,easy to navigate, helpful staff. Micheal Jordan even graced these fields with his excellence playing outfield for the Birmingham Barons. It was also in the opening baseball scene in the movie Space jam. Such an awesome place!
I was there for training. This was, so far, the most unique training venue for criminal justice practitioners I have seen yet. The ballfield is beautiful. The tech was on point for our presenters and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Birthday parties at Hoover Metropolitan Complex
Hoover Metropolitan Complex hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
