Look at all that beautiful RV parking!

I agree 1,000,000%. Even if the tourney has to remain in the Birmingham area, shouldn't it be held at the nicest ballpark in the Birmingham area? Makes no sense.

There are enough big beautiful on-campus stadiums in this conference that it should rotate between the campuses.

Maybe.
I would say LSU, Arkansas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and MSU all make sense size wise. A&M needs to add a little more, but could and should be easily done. Bama & UK are new, but are they big enough? This creates a pretty big home field advantage for the hosting team.

Hammons Field - Springfield, MO
Was awarded as the 2018 AA ballpark of the year.

Yes, Kentucky’s new crib can accommodate over 7000 with temp seating, bern, etc. The permanent seating is around 3500

Those schools could easily tack on a couple extra thousand seats within the next 5 years (the time it would take to rotate between the venues that can host right now). I imagine the extra revenue hosting provides would encourage schools to get their capacities in order.
And a possible home field advantage is part of the game. As long as the rotation is fair then it should work itself out. I just imagine an on-campus setting would be a much cooler experience than a neutral setting.

It should rotate but I’m with the idea of minor league stadiums over home field.
New Orleans - Houston - Nashville - Atlanta or Hoover - Somewhere in the Panhandle ideally Destin.
Holding it at Hoover every year just doesn’t make sense but it’ll never change.
