I’ll go ahead and say what anyone who has actually been there is thinking.

Biloxi is a shithole.

Curious, do they close off that street adjacent to LF/CF? Seems like every HR would be a potential windshield breaker with the street that close.

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


Add Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.

Yeah Hoover is a well oiled machine. Took my son yesterday, it was nice to get out off the heat for a few innings in the fan fest area.

There are way too many options out there….. The superdome


Even before renovations the Dome was a shite place for baseball

Now the stands cant be moved like they used to do

It is a great stadium and a great location, but it is to small for the SEC tourney

It only has a capacity of 6K and their is no place close for RVs


I would love for it to be here. When the CUSA tourney was here, we went to most games.

Because Hoover was a central location for SEC teams. Now, it’s probably Memphis


That was their excuse to give Alabama and Auburn home field advantages every tourney.

It has changed yet they will create a different excuse to keep it there.

Fun fact- Auburn and Tuscaloosa are closer to Biloxi than Oxford or Starkville

Agreed . Just Add more seats for Biloxi!

Always had hoped they could have a Gulf Coast Classic in Biloxi w LSU ; So.Miss ; So.Alabama ; Florida State or Houston

Check out the ACC venue in Durham where the Minor League Bulls play

Hoover is spending $23 million in renovations to the met. The SEC is committed to Hoover until 2030. It’s a moot point at the moment

They need to at least rotate the thing maybe every third year. Give other people a chance to experience it.

Where is the central part of the sec now?


It appears to be outside of New Houlka Mississippi.
