Field Day<\/span><\/a>, located next door to GigaParts on University Drive, officially opened to the public on Saturday, August 31, to much excitement from area residents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The entertainment complex boasts a <\/span>stacked menu with specially crafted food, a stocked bar, a self-pour beer wall<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>activities such as indoor mini golf, duckpin bowling, axe throwing, a multi-sport simulator, interactive darts, free karaoke, and more.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside, two 25-ft screens rotate through everything from college football to local Huntsville City FC soccer games and other sports. Free family-friendly games, cornhole, giant blocks, and Jenga are also ready to be played in the outdoor area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Hubbard, Field Day\u2019s founder, expressed his excitement over the venue\u2019s positive initial opening and attendance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOpening weekend exceeded our expectations. The energy in the building was incredible, and it was exciting to see Huntsville come out and embrace Field Day from day one,\u201d Hubbard said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWe designed this to be a place where people can eat, drink, play, and connect, and seeing families, friends, and coworkers enjoying it together was exactly what we hoped for. The response gives us great momentum heading into football season,\u00a0karaoke Fridays, and some of our upcoming events!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hubbard is no stranger to working in, as he calls it, \u201cthe business of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He previously worked as director of sales and design for a trampoline company for a decade. During that time, he traveled to over 30 countries and saw many entertainment venues. Since then, he has developed and sold two locations similar to Field Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked why Hubbard chose Huntsville to open his new location, he cited the business potential and the proximity to family. His wife was born and raised in the area and wanted to return to North Alabama.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe obviously had a lot of success at the other two venues, and so I was like, okay, once I found the building here, I had a recipe for success, and I wanted to bring that to Huntsville to her hometown,\u201d Hubbard said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The name \u201cField Day\u201d is more than a catchy title. Hubbard said when coming up with the business idea, he wanted to capture the carefree joy of a childhood school field day, but reimagined for adults.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe overall concept, \u2018field day\u2019 was to invoke the nostalgia of the last day of school, where it was just pure, fun, pure excitement, unadulterated social competition, that classic participation award that you got,\u201d Hubbard said.<\/p>\n

As for the games available for customers to play, Hubbard emphasized the special features that Field Day offers, including activities such as axe-throwing with changing digital targets and the high-tech multi-sport simulator.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur axe-throwing is really unique because we\u2019re not painting on targets. We\u2019re also using high-end technology with the computer and projector. You can throw axes at zombies, ducks, or you can play tic-tac-toe battleship. \u00a0You can also scan a QR code and upload your own photo to throw the axe at,\u201d Hubbard said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Hubbard, the multi-sport simulator not only offers a variety of activities but is also a great way for groups of all ages to spend time together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe realize that not everybody is a golf expert. We want families to come and enjoy their experience here. So, if not everybody\u2019s into golf, the multi-sport simulator does soccer and basketball. You can kick field goals and throw footballs, play hockey, baseball, home run derby, a bunch of things,\u201d Hubbard said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hubbard also said he knows how important college football is to both locals and visitors. Because of that, Field Day will play everyone\u2019s favorite Alabama rivals on the big screens simultaneously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if Auburn and Alabama are playing at the same time, they\u2019re both on separate screens to make sure everybody\u2019s happy. We\u2019re going to prioritize those teams. After that, we\u2019ll prioritize other SEC teams and then whatever is the biggest game on at the time,\u201d Hubbard said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to showcasing various sports on the outdoor big screens, Field Day will host free events, including family movie nights, karaoke, and a Taylor Swift Album Release Party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Family and friend groups aren\u2019t the only ones who can enjoy games and activities at the entertainment complex. Field Day offers corporate packages that include holiday parties, customer appreciation events, team-building activities, and professional development opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Hubbard, Field Day may be a business, but it\u2019s one that is built on relaxation, recreation, and connection with others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re our family when you come. We want this to be an extension of your backyard to hang out and have fun,\u201d Hubbard shared. <\/span><\/p>\n
