Is there a better region of baseball parks in the country than in the SEC West?

Just a crazy grouping of high quality ballparks

Baum



Dudy-Noble



Swayze



Alex Box



Blue Bell




Sewell-Thomas is also a nice looking park, albeit smaller. Plainsman Park is the only pedestrian one in the bunch and even it isn't that bad.

Add in the fanbases that fill each and it's honestly one of the cooler facets of this conference. In the East, only South Carolina's park stacks up but it looks like Florida will try to make up some ground with their new place.

SEC East is better thanks to Taylor Stadium

Not really. Our stadium is the only one worth mentioning for the East

This is the kind of subtle trolling I can appreciate and I think the whole board could learn from

Foley has a lot of potential but I don't think the UGA AD will ever put the money into an expansion that would be needed to bring it up to par with the likes of USC and the West. They renovated what was already there and that seems to be enough for them

ETA: Doesn't help that UGA baseball is competing for the metro ATL crowd with a Braves squad that is playing well in a brand new complex. Kentucky, the MS schools, Arkansas, LSU, etc don't have that problem

God Alex Box looks visibly shitty compared to the rest.

LSU built a new stadium too early and before everyone else. LSU went cheap and didn't realize other schools were going to build such palaces. LSU would have good ideas to steal from other schools if they waited.

I remember when Plainsmen Park was rank as the #2 best stadium in college for years by baseball america. Still a nice ballpark but woefully small compared to the rest of the SECW.

It's honestly a nice park, it just doesn't compare to the rest of the parks in the division

Blue Bell looks way better on the outside than it does on the inside. A&M's obsession with khaki is really weird.

The outfield at Bluebell leaves something to be desired but I've talked to a number of college baseball players over the years that say it, Bauam, and Alex Box are the top 3 places they absolutely hated to play at
