It's funny that all the newcomers (going back to 2012 as well) thought that the location would change to be more centrally located. The western folks are in for a rude awakening when they realize that it aint ever leaving Hoover.

I approve this message. My RV friends at the Rolling Bulldogs will be thrilled. We don't go anymore but it was always a great trip. One of my favorite weeks of the year. Great baseball!

Agree on attendance. Think the single elimination is better for teams involved though, especially with what I believe the format change this year where all teams will make the tourney.

Attended most but not all games depending on weather (heat). Most of the Rolling Bulldogs did. LSU fans would stay most of the week as well, win or lose.
