re: SEC Baseball tournament should consider moving to Pensacola

Hoover is centrally located in a nice area of metro Birmingham and gets way more flack than it deserves but I actually kind of agree with the OP's Pensacola idea.

Selfishly I like the idea of Pensacola because it's only 45 minutes away from me in Fairhope and as the OP stated there are tons of hotel rooms on the beach within a 30 minute drive in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Perdido Key, and Pensacola Beach.

Only issue with the Wahoos stadium is that it has a much smaller seating capacity than the Hoover Met. You can squeeze 16,000 in Hoover when using the grassy areas whereas it would be very difficult to get more than 10,000 in to the park in Pensacola. I dated a girl last year who lived about 5 minutes from the Wahoos stadium and it's a really cool stadium with great surroundings within walking distance of Palafox and downtown so I don't think regular parking would be a big issue although RV parking would be a bigger challenge. The biggest issue though is the significantly reduced seating capacity if that's a priority for the league. Otherwise, I like the idea of Pensacola hosting it.
