Both local teams sook the bigone in BB and attendence is horrendous.....


Yet every year the SEC Tournament championship game is a sell out or near sell out without either Alabama or Auburn playing in it.

Barons moved downtown Birmingham LMAO


Has nothing to do with The Hoover Met. Downtown baseball makes more sense for a minor league team that plays dozens of games. The SEC Tournament is a one time event.

GANGS shot a boy close to the field....Birmingham is a dead city town has degressed.....


Boy was shot downtown which again has nothing to do with the Hoover Met. The downtown shooting was unfortunate just like the dozens of downtown shootings that also occur annually in Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Jackson, Little Rock, etc, etc.

Metairie has Zephyr, and I don't even want to think about the traffic situation that would come from hosting the SEC tourney there.

if you move something no one watches to another place where no one cares does it matter?

Chattanooga would be a really cool place to host.

I've always wanted them to rotate it so that people outside of Alabama and Awburn fans can attend a game... that and Birmingham sucks.

I think for baseball a rotation would be awesome. Jax has a nice AA park and Orlando has the park T Disney.

So if it was in Atlanta or Memphis, you'd go then?
Nobody's stopping you from going now. The place is chock full of LSU fans every year and they all seem to have a blast.

If anything it is getting much better. It used to be a lot worse in terms of the metro area as a whole. Where working people actually live it is a very nice area in the mountain foothills. I would take it any day, all day over the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area.

It's actually going through a renaissance of sorts...but by all means stay away and continue to discuss things you know nothing about...

It's actually in Pearl, and it is way too small to host. It is a very nice park though.

frick Houston

And the last place I would want to move it is the second biggest ghetto in the SEC so Memphis is out too.

Chattanooga would be cool. Or Nashville.

I really hate they out the stadium in Pearl. That's not the image we want to portray

Flowood would have been a lot better locale.
