So that’s why we were shut out by a bad Ole Miss team?

Ole Miss is not a bad baseball team by a long shot.

I wouldn't be shocked if they end up in Omaha.

How does Biloxi have a AA team, but Shreveport doesn't? Shreveport is much bigger than Biloxi. You could easily put one adjacently North of Margaritaville in Bossier and have a downtown Shreveport view that'd be badass. There is open land right there. The only open land near downtown.

No one wants to travel to Shreveport. Coast has more to offer tourism wise.

Just move it to Pensacola and be done with it


That would move the venue further away from more schools.

I would bet they would expand the seating right away to handle the annual SEC tournament

If someone had to ask me what my least favorite part of being an LSU fan is, it’s that the SECCG is in ATL, America’s worst city, and the baseball tournament is in Hoover every year. Hoover was completely lame. I have no desire to go there at all again. ROTATE both!!! And yes I’ve been to both once.

Big 12 played its conference tournament this year at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

The league just announced it was moving to Surprise, Arizona, next year.

Strange move. High temperature forecast there for Friday: 106.

It's a great facility. Plenty of hotels and restaurants. Proximity to big airport in Phoenix. Royals and Rangers have spring training there, but that's in late February-March, not the end of May.

Too bad SEC is locked in to Hoover because Globe Life Field would be a great host. Air-conditioned, no weather delays or issues. Plenty of seating. And, yes, parking.

Two things I wish the SEC would do differently: rotate the football championship game (or eliminate it completely) site and the baseball host.
