They are having a homerun derby and a bar and some other stuff this year. The facilities have been expanded.

quote:

The 2017 SEC Baseball Tournament will include an improved SEC Fan Fest zone that includes the ferris wheel that was used at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, city officials said. The ferris wheel, which is at least 60 feet tall, will be located between Hoover Metropolitan Stadium and the new 155,000-square-foot Finley Center, said Erin Colbaugh, the city of Hoover’s events coordinator. The SEC Fan Fest zone also will include a zipline, nine-hole carpet golf course, golf simulators, driving simulators, classic arcade games, inflatables, virtual reality simulator, a Lego construction zone, photo booth and a food court with a variety of food and beverages, Colbaugh said. There also will be a sports bar with electronic darts, ping pong, skeeball, foosball, pool tables, air hockey, shuffleboard, basketball games, corn hole and three giant Connect 4 games, she said. The Fan Fest area also will include live entertainment, including a lot of musical acts from the Birmingham area, Colbaugh said. Most of the Fan Fest zone, excluding the ferris wheel, will be inside the Finley Center, she said.

Yeah, I think that was part of the deal to keep it in Hoover. Can't wait to see the improvements.

Fortunately, Bama will be absent this year. I went to T-town when we played there a few weeks ago, it'll be nice to not have to deal with Gumps in Hoover, too.

I will be there starting Tuesday night's UGA-State game.

I sure hope rain on Tues-Wed won't screw the tournament up too badly.

High chances of thunderstorms in Hoover through Wednesday morning, that could easily throw the tourney off schedule. Thursday onward is looking great, though.

Just rolled into Hoover ~ an hour ago.

Aggies are taking practice right now. Including the bat boy who carries bats that are bigger than him.
