About Smith-Wills Stadium

Smith-Wills Stadium, located at 1200 Lakeland Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, has a rich history as a minor league baseball venue. Today, the site operates as the Hank Aaron Sports Academy (HAS A) for youth and community use, continuing to bring sporting events and programs to the Jackson area. With a capacity historically listed around 5,200 seats, the stadium remains a recognizable hub for athletics and local events. Although public seating maps aren’t broadly published for HASA activities, fans can expect a traditional ballpark feel during events and tournaments hosted on site.

Whether you’re attending GCAC Baseball Championship games, NAIA opening rounds, or community sports showcases, we’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby options to make your visit smoother.

Plan ahead with trusted local details: on-site parking historically accompanies a mix of off-site options, with shuttle services used during larger events. Jackson offers public transit through JTRAN buses, and some HASA events have included shuttle arrangements. For a comfortable stay, consider nearby hotels such as Residence Inn by Marriott Jackson The District at Eastover, located a short drive from Lakeland Drive, with multiple restaurant options in the Eastover area. When you’re ready to secure your tickets or event access, remember we’re here to help you find the best seats and arrangements—quick, easy, and reliable, like having a friend in the business.
