When State was going deep in the tournament a few years ago, it was almost like being at Dudy Noble. LSU always has a lot of fans and they seem to stick around even if LSU loses early. Vandy, Alabama, and Auburn bring a lot of fans since they are close.
Regions Field is great, one of the best minor league parks, but I don't think its an option since the SEC tournament falls during the Barons regular season. Hopefully the SEC is doing this as leverage to get Hoover to make major improvements to the Met - that's what happened in 2011 the last...
I'm biased since I live in Hoover but this would be a real shame to see 18 years of SEC Baseball Tournament tradition in Hoover come to an end. Attendance is at/near all time high at 132,000 last year and Hoover (admittedly late) has been making improvements to the Met. Love seeing this...
