We've been going to Hoover for over 20 years. Never really had a bad experience. What's the big gripe about it? ??

I mean, I hate the the SEC office is in Birmingham, but the Met itself has always been a good time. Plenty of parking, traffic really isn't bad, big enough stadium but not hard to fill. And like someone else said, I've always heard that the coaches liked the playing field as well.

Honest question.

1. The SEC Baseball Ty is in Hoover mainly for the SEC Office staff's convenience. We do not want the poor babies to have to travel in late May to the SEC Baseball Ty somewhere else then have to travel to Destin in June for the summer meetings. I was told this by TWO SEC Office staff members a few years ago.

2. I am tired of Hoover. No hotels/motels within walking distance to the stadium is one complaint I have. Rotate the damned event please.

3. Memphis had the best bid last time it was up for bids. I have been to that park and it is superior to Hoover in every way, IMO. Let's go to Memphis for 2-3 years then maybe somewhere else.

4. I am fine with Arlington or Frisco, TX as part of that rotation. Just do not keep having it at Hoover year after year.

B/c it's not fair to the other institution's fans who can't drive that far or have big families etc.. I don't have a problem with the park per say just the fact that it is there EVERY FRICKEN YEAR. Spread the wealth.
