The Blue Wahoos is a great stadium also thats in close proximity for what you're talking about.

That is a cool little park. We usually make a few games each year. They have the C-USA Tourney there in the past. Walking distance to 4 Casinos.

Wahoo Stadium is the smallest in the Southern League. If I remember correctly it holds less that 5K. Great Little stadium though!

I’d love to see LSU play in Biloxi one weekend every year.

Maybe something like LSU/OleMiss/USM vs three schools from the north?

I’d really love to see the SEC Tourney moved there permanently. It’d be a win-win for everyone.

Assuming MGM Park likes money, this seems like a no brainer. LSU probably wouldn't want to do this and the Houston tourney in the same year, but they could alternate.

I wish the Florida St. deal being mentioned was a weekend series. Would love to attend that.

Pretty nice view from the top level of the Beau Rivage parking garage too.


I've watched a game from my room in the Beau before.

I have been to that park and it is very nice but I wish they would revive the Superdome classic. I guess the construction work will keep that on hold for a couple of more years.

The Superdome can’t be configured for baseball anymore.

Too bad they could not reconfigure the 4 lane road veering it toward Jackson Street connecting it to another 4 lane Reynior Street .

Make an Entertainment District with Bowling/Cinema/ Mini Golf complex across from the Casino's. Pipe dream of course!

Yeah, I assumed this was probably the case.

The configuration they used to use when it could was pretty awful.

That whole area is awesome….over the outfield fence, you see the Gulf of Mexico!


Yeah, if you are high enough (top rows of seats or on the concourse) if you look past the right field corner you can see the water.

But technically it's the Mississippi Sound, not the Gulf. ;-)

Pete Taylor might seat 4300, but it will hold over 6,300.

NCAA has shut that down. Apparently, they are not a fan of all of the standing room only tickets we had against OM. If USM and LSU meet Saturday night, it will probably be around 5k.
