The SEC has played its baseball tournament in Hoover since 1998 though multiple other cities have made bids over the years to host the popular event.
Hoover Metropolitan Stadium before Alabama's SEC baseball tournament elimination game against Florida on May 28, 2022. The SEC has reached an agreement in principle for the SEC baseball tournament to remain in Hoover for the next two years, according to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.
Sankey said Friday at the annual SEC spring meetings in Destin that the conference hoped to have the deal finalized soon. The deal will keep the SEC baseball tournament at the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium until at least 2024 once it is finalized with the city. Nashville, New Orleans, Memphis and Jacksonville all bid in 2016 to land the SEC baseball tournament but the league decided to keep it in Hoover.
