Glad it's staying in Hoover

It's OK. I'm not a big fan of Birmingham, but at least it's centrally located (or as much as it can be in the expanded SEC) and easy to get to via the Interstates.

Did not expect that. It's easily the best location, but I agree the park is dated and it's not going to be getting any better since it doesn't have a tenant (I know they're making some improvements, but they're going to be limited in what they can do long-term).

They are making tons of improvements and promised to make more. I'll see if I can find the article that was posted on al.com

Given how much parking was required this year, I'm not shocked. There's probably not another ballpark in the country that could've handled the late Thursday session crowds as well as Hoover, short of an MLB park.
I'm not sure who drew up the plans for using the Hoover High School lot and buses originally, but it was dynamite.
