2018 SEC Tournament May 22-27 • Hoover Metropolitan Stadium Hoover, Ala. The Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament returns for a 20th straight year to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Ala. Located eight miles south of Birmingham, the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium is regarded by many sports experts as one of the best of its kind in the nation. It seats 10,800 for baseball, but can accommodate over 16,000 when the patio, banquet and side grassy areas are used. The stadium also houses 12 suites and state-of-the-art dressing and training rooms. Wireless internet access was added in 2004, concourse and signage renovation was done in 2005 and a second-level press box expansion, new stadium seating and an exterior facelift in 2007 completed a $4.5 million renovation project. A new video scoreboard was added for 2008. LSU has played in the SEC Tournament title game in nine of the past 18 seasons. The Tigers have won 12 tournament titles (1986, ‘90, ‘92, ‘93, ‘94, 2000, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2017) and have finished as runners-up on six occasions (1987, ‘91, ‘95, ‘97, 2001, 2003).
