My only experience at the Hoover Met is when I went to get a COVID-19 vaccination. This is what I will review.. UAB set up a vaccination site at the Hoover Met recently. It is an excellent choice of venue for giving drive-through vaccines. The large parking area is perfect for streaming through cars and lining up cars. It is off any major highway or heavily trafficked roadway. The UAB team have set up several pop-up pavilions wide enough to accommodate cars and UAB team members. The process is very simple and well-organized. I made my appointment through the UAB patient portal website. I noticed that the website made me a second appointment for my second vaccination 3 weeks after my first. Very convenient. I arrived at my appointment time. There were people out directing traffic in the parking lot. At the first pavillion, a UAB team member gathered my name and appointment time, checked my ID, gave me a short form to fill-in and sign, then directed me to pull to the next pavilion, straight ahead. At the second pavilion, a UAB team member collected the form, gave the vaccination and immunization card and directed me to pull ahead to the waiting area. At the waiting area, a UAB team member greeted me, we conversed and they gave me instructions on how to alert them in case I had an adverse reaction to the shot. They made note of the time I received the vaccination and at what time the 15 minute wait period expired. During my wait, a UAB team member check on me verbally no less than 3x, other UAB team members would give me a nod or ask loudly to a group of cars how we were doing. The wait period flew by and I was on my way. From start to end the entire process took less than 45 minutes, probably around 30 minutes. I didn't time it. Overall, they were as well-organized as any Chick-fil-A drive-through and just as nice. Shout-out to the entire UAB team and any volunteers! Y'all Rocked It Out! Thank you for your hard work! Because y'all cared enough to be there, we are all one-step closer to normal.

Up until the World Games I had not been in this stadium. Lucky enough to acquire medal round tickets for Women's softball I finally had the opportunity to enter this facility. It is nicely kept and several places to get food and drinks. I was pleasantly surprised to see beer being sold here. The seats were great and the sky from the sunset was an excellent backdrop as the game began. It was Team USA versus Japan for the gold medal. It was a close game with the umpires making it interesting with a few questionable calls but Tesm USA prevailed 3 - 2 avenging their loss to Japan in the 2020 Olympics. The Hoover police did a terrific job managing traffic and providing escort for the athlete's to and from the stadium. If I get the opportunity to attend another sporting event here I will definitely go back.

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. The seating is great. The ball field is beautiful. The parking is great and close by the stadium. The location is great and close to everything. I am looking forward to returning in the future. One word of advice, bring a battery operated fan and water bottle to fill inside. It gets Hot 🥵

Bulls at the Park. This was an outstanding event. Hopefully, this will become an annual event. The event was well organized and moved along perfectly. The weather was perfect, and the riders and bulls showed up and showed out. Great family affair.
