That settles it Biloxi needs to expand.
I’ve watched a game there before from my room at Beau Rivage.

Hoover is absolute trash
No idea why anyone would ever wanna go there
Biloxi would literally be perfection for the SEC baseball tournament

Why not just have it at Alex Box every year? Just kidding

That would be fine with me. I have been to that stadium and it is very nice and there are plenty enough hotel rooms on the Gulf Coast to accommodate this event.

Pensacola is a better location with potential RV parking, more on street parking, a lot of open space for a festival type experience, a better beach, and more hotel rooms. However, It seats 1000 less than Biloxi and would have to double in size to match Hoover so it will never happen without seating expansion.
It is a shame as it would be an amazing fan and player experience. Turn it into a true end of season vacation for the players with a Monday arrival and groups of beach houses instead of hotels, Downtown Pensacola is an underrated attraction with bars and restaurants within walking distance of the stadium. Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are 45 mins away.
A mid-season all-star break type break would be a cool deal. with teams playing 2-3 games each.

There are way too many options out there…..
The superdome
Astros stadium
Braves stadium
I went once to Hoover and would not go back….it was boring

I live near Biloxi and I can say that is a really nice stadium.

They wouldn't be able to hold the tournament at either the Astros' or Braves' ballpark. Both stadiums have multicolored advertisements on the outfield walls, and that sends most LSU fans to a therapist.

They could at least rotate it every other year. Hell could even pick MLB stadiums if teams like Braves, Rangers, or Astros are on long road trips that week

I love Pensacola, but have you been there on Memorial Day weekend?

Riders Field in Frisco, TX has capacity over 10,000 would be an option although it’s way far west side of SEC.

excellent idea and closer to BR/NOLA

Because Hoover was a central location for SEC teams. Now, it’s probably Memphis
Hoover is a good location, but they should not have a death grip on it. Now that the conference has expanded, they should consider moving it every few years. There are other good locations around the conference,

Could you imagine the room rate per night during the tournament at Beau Rivage? I mean, who wouldn’t stay there they hadve that bridge that goes across the strip right to the stadium.

Hoover is just fine. It’s central to just about every SEC team. The park itself is large and nice as well.
The only fan bases biloxi would be convenient for are LSU State & Ole Miss

As noted before, the League's head coaches, across the board, love playing in Hoover. Primarily because its field is similar to Omaha's. They'll never sign off on moving it anywhere else.
