My selfish choice would be Minute Maid, IDGAF if there's a bunch of empty seats, it's probably cost prohibitive and it's far from most schools

Autozone is already one of if not the nicest Triple A stadium. They are currently doing renovations to make it even nicer.

That thing costs like 40 million to build didn't it?

I'd be happy sitting at the SEC tourney and paying for their beer. The park is sick.

The reason a baseball rotation makes sense is because MOST of the teams go to the baseball tourney every single year. Everybody gets a chance to see the tourney when it comes within driving distance.

ATL makes sense for football because it is always just two teams.

I agree. Also, the idea of football is that it is a destination for 2 teams. It's the goal of the season. It just kind of seems right to have a permanent home for that.

Baseball is different. Maybe that's just me, but I have no problem moving baseball or basketball around (though I think Nashville is a really good spot for basketball, though I miss it coming to Atlanta).

I think any stadium picked would have to seat at least 9K, probably more like 10K.


Baseball ground of Jacksonville seats 11k

Great place...been to 3 Wahoo games...it's a great day trip if your down at Destin or Seaside.

Park "downtown" and take the shuttle to the park.

I'm all for using it as part of the rotation.

I'm reading the article on Autozone's renovations and it looks like they're actually decreasing capacity to 10k

All this talk of in-town stadiums is just pissing me off about the Cobb County Braves all over again
