None of the nice TX parks are really in the city except MMP and that's obviously not happening. San Antonio's is in a weird location not close to the Riverwalk from what I remember, plus SA is too far from other schools. Frisco, Sugar Land and Dell Diamond are all in the burbs.
I was gonna say - no love for the Wolff??
But yeah it's not in a tourist friendly spot of SA (unless Lackland AFB is your idea of a good time).
There's always the AAA park in beautiful El Paso:
Technically in the SEC footprint

Alabama is putting forth an effort to regain their status as a good baseball program with the facilities overhaul.

Get someone to drive a center field camera over to fricking Hoover. That little bit of effort would go much further than building a new baseball place to placate Saban.

The cameras will be plentiful in 2016.

Saban must have said that it would help recruiting. If he did, you guys will have like 44 dedicated HD cameras.

Pensacola !!!!
It's pretty damn badass stadium and the bay views are an added bonus. Centrally located between Destin and Gulf Shores. Plus, PCola Beach area has gotten better, Blue Angels doing flyovers would be very cool.
That's my vote,however I'm biased living in Orange Beach.

5,000 seat stadium would be plenty if you moved it from Hoover. Go for it.

According to LSU CPM, all the league's coaches like playing there, so I can't see any changes coming anytime soon unless money talks a lot louder. Besides, the REC prefers it staying in Alabama, so that's that.

It should NOT be in Hoover every year. How about Zephyr stadium? Given your multiple choice options, I would definitely vote for Biloxi. Nice hotels there. We just spent last weekend at the Beau Rivage.

How many tournament championships has Alabama(or Auburn for that matter) won recently in Hoover?
Bama fans would not care if they moved the tournament.

The smokies in Knoxville have a great ballpark. Don't know if that would work though.

Nashville just opened a new stadium downtown on friday. It holds 10k and will hold 15k i think. It is a great park and is in a badass city. It will have shops and apartments eventually and i live across the street. So thats my pick.

The Smokies park is nice but pretty small since it's a AA park.
