Stadium The team's home venue is Sewell-Thomas Stadium, located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on the campus of the University of Alabama. A tradition at Sewell-Thomas Stadium is to play the Rednex song "Cotton-Eyed Joe" during the after the 7th inning. Sewell-Thomas Stadium is nicknamed "The Joe" by Crimson Tide fans, in honor of Baseball Hall of Fame member Joe Sewell, who played college baseball at Alabama. When Sewell played for Alabama, they were not in the Southeastern Conference. This means that only Frank Thomas, of Auburn, is the only SEC player to make the Baseball HOF. For 12 of the last 13 seasons Alabama has ranked in the top 10 nationally in attendance.

In 2016 the team moved into the newly renovated Sewell-Thomas Stadium, a $42 million renovation making The Joe look like a totally new ball park. Club rooms, a kids playground, all chairback seats, and a new state of the art scoreboard were added.
