re: Memphis, New Orleans also bid for SEC Baseball

There are a lot of great options in the southeast. Regions Field in Birmingham is a really nice ballpark downtown. I also think Memphis and Nashville are home runs. I don't think New Orleans is a good option just because the park isn't downtown. New Orleans is the best for football events because of everything downtown being within walking distance.

Biloxi and Pensacola both have nice new minor league parks, and either would be fun for a few days.
