Several structural changes took place to Rickwood Field during the 1920's, which included the roof's extension over the concrete bleachers along the right-field line and the addition of stell bleachers down the left-field line. The 1927 season brought the installation of concrete bleachers along the third-base side, as well as new box seats. The final expansion of the facility came in 1928 with the construction of a covered grandstand. The grandstand went down the first-base side and curved around the foul pole in right and behind the right-field wall. The same year saw the addition of Rickwood Field's distinctive Spanish Missionary-style entrance arcade with a two-story structure.

However, some changes in Rickwood Field were not planned…a tornado ripped through Rickwood the morning of April 16^th, 1921. The twister destroyed the wooden outfield fence and bleachers, which caused approximately $30,000 in damages and required the rapid construction of a temporary fence. A 10-foot concrete wall and 30-foot-high mechanical scoreboard in left-center field soon replaced the temporary wooden fence.

Two more structural changes took place in the 1950's as the original dugouts at Rickwood Field were removed and rebuilt below ground level and box seats were added to the ballpark. The same year saw the construction of the Dugout Restaurant along the first-base side of the stadium.

Rickwood Field hosted its final game as the mainstay of the Barons on September 9^th, 1987. Jack Mcdowell took the mound for the Barons in the second game of the Southern League Championship Series. Despite a game one loss, the Barons went on to "win one for Rickwood," and claimed the Southern League title by a 3-1 margin.
