Bring in a little extra income! Anything we take from Alabama is always good.

Don't be surprised if that is what they are pushing.


As another poster mentioned, the MB Superdome can no longer be configured for baseball after the last upgrade.

I will NEVER attend in the Hoover dump.

The SEC HQ will go out of their way to keep it in their home state. Just like wasting time with the Birmingham Bowl, they've proven they're not interested in representing all 14 universities an 11 states equally. I'll travel to any of the other 10 states but will not attend anywhere in the Land of Gump!

I don't get the Zephry Field hate. I don't think it's the best option, but it's a nice ballpark and with new ownership, they will be upgrading it soon

I would suspect the tourney stays in Hoover. Centrally located and the league offices are nearby, not to mention it's been at Hoover forever.

I would love for Louisiana to host, but I do not believe it will happen. I think it should move every year. Would be pretty cool to take a trip to different places every year for the tourney.

But hosting it in Kenner would definitely be a downgrade


There's no baseball stadiums in Kenner.

Also,

ANYTHING in the NOLA area > Hoover, Alabama

While I am fully aware that you are joking, I must say....GOD NO! Having played many games there it is a rathole!

Im personally in favor of it rotating from year to year to the MILB stadium closest to the "host team" (must be at leasta AA stadium).

LSU- New Orleans Zephyrs
Texas A&M- Round Rock Express
MSU- Jackson Braves
Ole Miss- Memphis Redbirds
Auburn- Montgomery Biscuits
Alabama-Birmingham Barons
Arkansas- NW Arkansas Naturals

Georgia- Gwinnett Braves
Florida-Jacksonville Suns
South Carolina- Myrtle Beach Pelicans
Missouri- Springfield Cardinals
Vanderbilt- Nashville Sound
Tennessee-Tennessee Smokies
Kentucky- Louisville Bats
