Autozone Park in Memphis



The new Biloxi Shuckers stadium.



Or somehow convince the Braves to let us use their new stadium.



Or leave it in Hoover?

Your picture isn't Hoover. That's Birmingham


If it stays in Central Alabama it needs to be moved to Regions field downtown

i mostly hate that it's the same place every single year. so boring. Memphis is a great location, but i wouldnt want it to be there every year either.

that would actually suck. playing in a 70% empty stadium (for most of the games) is for the birds.

Braves stadium is too big.

Should definitely be rotated. There are too many nice minor league ballparks in the SEC footprint to leave it one place. Memphis, Biloxi, Jackson, Pensacola, Bham, Frisco, Round Rock I know all have very nice parks and I'm sure I'm leaving several out.

They should just pick four total, two from the east and two from the west and rotate

A MLB stadium is not nearly intimate enough for a college baseball conference tournament.

I think that a rotation of minor league parks around the south would be awesome, like a 4 year rotation with Memphis, New Orleans, Birmingham, and Nashville would be awesome.

I'd do a rotation

- Nashville (new stadium)
- Memphis
- Birmingham (Regions)
- Jackson, MS
- Pensacola
- Gwinnett (metro Atlanta)


If they only wanted a small rotation I would do places with easy walk ability to downtowns/good areas

- Nashville
- Memphis
- Regions Park (Bham)
- Pensacola

For sure. How nice is the Zephyrs park? I know the other three are nice. Those four cities would be perfect

Pensacola Stadium




Right downtown on the water down the street from a nice bar and restaurant district.

It's nice enough to host. Not as nice as Autozone.

I really think wherever they chose should be in a walkable area that people will want to hang out before and after games.

Would make everything a lot more fun (like the SECBT in Nashville).

It's fine, not as nice as the Dell Diamond but still a good ball park. A good ways from down town near the airport, but I'm sure that the conference could set up some sort of shuttle service from down town to the park. There's also a sweet grass "levee" in the outfield that's fun.

Florida Panhandle somewhere. Isn't there a really nice one in Pensacola that is right on the ocean? Maybe I am wrong.

edit: Beat me to it. Great minds think alike.
