Staying Put

Memphis had been making a hard push to get the tournament to Autozone Park, but I read the following in the Birmingham news this morning:

The SEC Baseball Tournament will remain at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium through 2011, the league will announce at a press conference today.
The SEC, the city of Hoover and the Alabama Sports Foundation recently finalized new contracts, extending the tournament another five years after league presidents and athletics directors voted unanimously to stay put.
