The Redbirds were founded in 1981 as the Erie Cardinals which were also a Cardinals' affiliate which played at Ainsworth Field in Erie, Pennsylvania from 1981–1987. The Erie Cardinals were then relocated to Hamilton, Ontario to become the Hamilton Redbirds. The team remained as a Cardinals' affiliate.

The team then played at Bernie Arbour Memorial Stadium in the city of Hamilton from 1988–1992 and then relocated again to the city of Glens Falls, retaining the Redbirds name and Cardinals affiliation.
