I don't think the Superdome can accommodate baseball any more, not after its post-Katrina renovations.
It wasn't that good of a baseball facility anyway when it did try to host baseball in the '70s and '80s.

Zephyr Field has been pretty much dormant since the minor league team left, so it would probably take some serious cash to get it back in running order.

Superdome is not a realistic option anymore due to how they renovations have made the seating more fixed.

Zephyr is in talks to get a renovation to more of a football/soccer format. They seem to be giving up getting another Minor league team.

I'm not a huge fan of putting the tournament in a 40K MLB stadium, either.

I would support moving it around the conference, to the larger minor league stadiums in decent cities.
