The Barons stadium would also be a better choice
From what I've been told by the Gumps, Barons stadium is too small (8,500 capacity) and parking is an issue downtown.

Parking is only an issue if you are lazy and dont want to walk. But theres a brewery (or two? not sure if beer engineers ever opened up) that is literally right across the street. So that makes up for having to walk all the blocks imo.
Every time I've been there its been cake. However, I will say that it is probably a different dynamic if youre having a mid day game during the weekday. As Ive only been to the stadium at like 7 pm, so obviously the traffic/parking dynamic is different.
I wont totally discredit it as a valid concern but without doing some research of midday traffic and parking patterns, Ill remain skeptical.

Zephyr Field is great but too far from anything of relevance. Jacksonville sucks. Memphis would be great and central. Nashville is the new Austin.
If placement isn't a major concern then why not throw in places like Charleston and Pensacola.

I lived in Birmingham and they open up a lot of parking for the Barons games - I'm sure they would do the same for the SEC tourney. Plus there a bunch of bars and restaurants nearby (walking distance) that would add to the atmosphere.
I admit I haven't been to the Zephyr's stadium or Nashville, so they may be better options.
