The SEC Baseball Tournament could be headed to New Orleans or Memphis

Hoover, Ala. has hosted the tournament for 18 years, but the SEC has sent out bidding information to more than 10 southeastern cities.

Hoover, Ala. has played host to the SEC Baseball Tournament for nearly two decades, but that tradition may change in 2017 as the Birmingham suburb's five-year contract is set to expire after this season's conference tilt. As reported by The Advocate, the conference has disseminated bidding information to about a dozen cities in the southeast, among them New Orleans, Jacksonville, Nashville and Memphis.

Hoover could remain the host site, of course, but the city sports commissions in Memphis, Nashville, NOLA and Jacksonville appear keen on bringing college ball to their respective burgs.
