The Hoover Met is, by itself, sucking the very life out of SEC baseball.

A new ballpark with comfortable seats in the SEC's home city? I guess that MIGHT make sense...

I'm definitely for that. But it won't happen until the current contract is up.

Hell no. Hoover sucks. I'm steadfast in rotating the tournament there's so many awesome Minor league parks that can be used.

If there's a permanent location it needs to be in Memphis at Autozone Park.

I agree. The best part about the new stadium is that it is right across the street from Good People Brewery.

With all of the great cities to choose from in the conference, I don't understand why it should remain solely in Birmingham.

But yeah, this ballpark blows.

I've never been to the SEC tournament, not a whole lot of SC fans go, and Tanner never stressed its importance, but damn it is depressing to watch the ACC tournament always in some nice minor league ball park and then see the SEC play in such a park.

I live on the southside of bham, about a mile from the park. It's a great park, but I think it has 5000-6000 less seats than at the Hoover Met. Would be a very hard ticket for the better matchups.

I'm for moving it around to different cities. I think Hoover sort of rested on it's laurels.
But I can't understand you LSU fans that want to move the sec tournament around, yet are just fine having the CWS in freaking Omaha every damn year.
If any tournament needs to rotate, it's the CWS.
