This will be just in time before the end of Hoover's contract in 2024. This should please the SEC office and Hoover will receive another contract extension.

Last week's SEC Baseball Tournament broke an all-time attendance record at the Hoover Met Stadium.

About 23 percent more fans showed up than did last year, and the total attendance beat the previous record by nearly 8,500.

On the outside, the parking will be resurfaced with traffic flow improvements.

On the inside, the city wants to install a concession boardwalk at the top of the bleachers.

Speaking of bleachers: most, if not all, could soon be replaced with individual stadium seats.

Every season that tournament seems less and less meaningful for the top teams. Would be better served letting everyone in, and at least have more teams fighting for a postseason bid.

The Met seems to have the perfect atmosphere for baseball. Decent stadium, hotels, attractions, etc


I’m sure their package has beat out Jacksonville, Nashville, and others many times by now.

Maybe serving alcohol at games will be one of the upgrades.

Wait is this allowed? The LSU athletic department told us this isn’t allowed and we are stuck with bleachers at the Box.
