Biloxi minor league park would be a nice spot

Huge crowds when LSU played and when Auburn and Alabama played.
Otherwise, not so much.

The 4 teams with the weakest travel fan base are left. Wouldn’t be any bigger crowd anywhere else. That being said…the parking situation and concessions were a cluster this year.

It’s in Bama’s and Auburns backyard and there were barely any Bama or Auburn fans here. I talked to a few Bama baseball fans and they were embarrassed by their fans showing.

Not many Florida fans either. Probably were more LSU fans than most other teams combined. Still a lot of LSU fans here. We are going to the FL and Vandy game and head back in the morning.

Not sure moving it will increase attendance. The weather has been unbelievable. 80 degrees right now with a nice breeze.

Hate to break it to you.. a lot of people don’t care about college baseball. We are in the minority. Look around the country, the crowds are worse than a junior high game.

ESPN money makes up for any paid gate money. And as stated numerous times, the League's HC's love playing there as the park is similar to Omaha.

I like the Hoover location. It seems like a nice way to get out into the open country. It’s centralized so that’s a plus. It holds at least 15,000 fans. I hope it stays in Hoover.

Why not just get rid of the Tournament all together. If the conferences are so concerned about getting teams in the NCAA just have a play in game for bubble teams.

Good stadium and the Doubletree is directly across the street. Stayed there instead of Oxford for a few games.

Memphis would be great to me. Superior stadium to Hoover and you can walk to the stadium from 9-10 big hotels.

Just rotate the thing is what should happen.

I’m fine with it being in Hoover. Most people come for 4-5 nights. Any of those cities will double the cost of the stay. Also I don’t have to worry about my truck being stolen every night or being shot leaving a restaurant.

Most of the people that actually go to Hoover will tell you they are fine with it.

I would be for the winner of the tournament being a host the following year. That would incentivize the play.
