Joke. An absolute joke. New Orleans has more hotel rooms and tourist stuff to do. That Memphis park is arguably the finest minor league park in the country. Don't knkw much about J-Vill, but its in the water for Memorial Day weekend.

Did they say why the committee voted unanimous to stay? Hotel rooms? No. Things to do during tournament? No. New stadium with suites? No. Politics and money? Yes.
It's ashame the other cities that put a lot of time and money into preparing their bids never had a chance.

If anyone thought for a second that they would move the tournament from Hoover, they were nuts. I really wish they would have come up with a rotation for different sites to host every year. Oh well.
