Sand Mountain Park & Amphitheater Named Reader’s Choice Outdoor Sports Venue By SportsEvents Magazine

“Sand Mountain Park is a crowd and team favorite,” said Michael Beck, Southeast Regional Director for National Championship Sports. “We hosted several events at the park in 2022 and have already booked three more dates for 2023. The staff is incredible, the facility is beautiful, and Albertville is easy to travel to and from. Congratulations to the Sand Mountain team on this Readers’ Choice award.”

In 2022, Sand Mountain Park hosted more than 95 youth and amateur sports events and tournaments including outdoor events such as Perfect Game Baseball, USA Softball, and National Championship Sports. From its events, tournaments, and concerts, the park produced more than $23.3 million last year. Located approximately 90 minutes from Birmingham, this destination has risen as a premier destination for indoor and outdoor sports since opening in 2021.

“This does not come as a surprise. Anytime there is a discussion about venues, I let everyone know that Sand Mountain Park is one of the nicest and best-run venues I host events at,” shares Greg Barnett, Deep South Director of Perfect Game. “This is a credit to the entire operations team, support staff, and Sports Facilities Companies employees. Perfect Game is the gold standard of travel baseball, so I partner with SFC venues because they are the best in the nation. Anyone can run a tournament, but with our partnership, we run the best events in the country because we play at Sand Mountain Park. Congratulations on being recognized, as it is very deserving.”
