Anyone wanting this thing in a MLB stadium has lost their mind. You get zero atmosphere with 8,000 people in a 45,000 seat stadium.

I think moving it around is fine, but the thing Hoover has going for it is that the locals do a fairly good job of supporting it. It could be tough to replicate that in some places.

The people bitching about it have never been nor are ever going. When you watch on tv what damn difference does it make where it is. And in the grand scheme of things it’s insignificant anyway. Much ado about nothing.

I watched a couple of Big 12 tournament games after it moved into a MLB park. It looked awful. The crowd was sparse and the whole place just looked dead.

I just had flashbacks of the old MS v LA series in the Superdome.

Good times

It would be reminiscent to the annual Alabama High School Football championship games that swap between Bryant Denny/Jordan Hare, you just lose the entire atmosphere and excitement in big venues like that.
