Future SEC Touney sites

As the SEC is considering other venues for the baseball tournament, are any of the stadiums in consideration close to the dimensions of TD Ameritrade?
Watching the B1G Tourney and they are playing in Omaha. Not suggesting it's an advantage for them, but at least they get a taste of what is in store for teams that make the CWS.
Seems like Hoover is similar in size, as well as being geographically centered for the conference. Just hate that it happens to be in Bama.

Anywhere but Orlando/Central FL is fine by me

Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, and one other I can't remember.
My preference is Memphis.
They're all minor league parks, so they'll be about as big as hoover.

Did they just sign a ten year extension deal with Hoover last year?
I think it is bull that in this day Bama gets to have the thing in their back yard every year. Why not move it around from year to year?

HA! As much as I would love to have them just down the street, I'm not a fan of the ballpark at Disney, not to mention the Disney prices.

Big 10 is playing there because they know that's the only chance any of their teams will have.

Rotate it.
Atlanta and Jacksonville probably have Minor league teams as well.

I prefer Nashville but then I live in Franklin, 25 minutes south

Biloxi would have been awesome but I don't think that stadium is big enough and hotel stay would be a nightmare. They would have to work a deal out with the casino's.

Memphis baby!

Mgm stadium in biloxi would be nice. Think the capacity is only around 6500 or so which is on the small side, but at least they have casinos. Good looking ballpark tho.

Personally I say have it at this place, every year!

Hey, what can I say. not saying that any of them will make it, but Minnesota was ranked and Michigan has a good CWS history.
Can't stand watching UF or Bama ... my 2 least favorite teams in the SEC.

Indiana has recently been good too.
Memphis park is great, but it's Memphis...

When Indiana made it to Omaha in 2013 they were the first B1G team since Michigan in 1984 to do so. Indiana went 1-2. I don't think that playing at TD Ameritrade is helping.

Okay, maybe I phrase the question wrong. Question is about the potential SEC Tourney stadiums and not he B1G. Don't care about the B1G.
How do the dimensions of the potential sites compare to Omaha and should that be taken into consideration?

The SEC just needs to invade the north, tell the Yankees to hit the road for a week and let us use Yankee Stadium or by next year we could kick the Braves out and use their brand new digs.
