Zephyr Field Among Finalists for SEC Baseball Tournament

quote:

Zephyr Field is among the finalists to host the SEC baseball tournament beginning in 2017.


quote:

Memphis, Nashville and Jacksonville are among the other cities bidding to be the postseason event's new home after 19 straight years in Hoover, Ala., and 20 of the past 21, when teams visit Hoover Metropolitan Stadium next month.


Hoover is also submitting a bid, so it's not a definite that the tourney is moving.

I always thought redbirds stadium in Memphis would be nice for this. Pretty centrally located,great stadium, and no real home team advantage.

I think it's a foregone conclusion it is leaving Hoover.

I still think some sort of rotation would work best.
There are plenty of nice parks in the SEC landscape that could host it.

New Orleans
Memphis
Nashville
Pensacola
Biloxi
etc

Just get it the hell away from Alabama. Would be great to see it in NO except for the possibility of fans being murdered.

Memphis or Nashville should get the nod IMHO.

Biloxi has a brand new stadium. That would be a nice place to host it.

The only plus to having the tourney at Zephyr is that it would be easier for more LSU fans to attend.

There is nothing else about Zephyr which is more attractive than the other sites named as finalists.

The SEC offices are in Alabama, so is Hover. To think any other state will win the bid is being naïve.

New Nashville Sounds stadium is fantastic and probably the ideal spot of all cities listed.
