Memorial Day Weekend presented me with a chance to visit
Hoover, Alabama for the 2015 SEC Championship baseball tournament and to see the facility. Met Stadium In Hoover is also the site of the National Profastpitch League (Women's Softball) 2015 Championship Series.
It was 3 hours from my home in Mt. Juliet, Tn. The weather prediction was excellent; the ride was short, and none other than a chance to see Vanderbilt & Florida baseball teams play!

My daughter and I started off on a bright Friday afternoon,
taking our time and loving the scenery of beautiful trees, wildflowers,
pastures and barns. The drive was so pleasant. It was then I realize the
location where we live is almost the center of USA -easy to travel with
great highways.
We registered at our
hotel and got to the Met Stadium just in time to enjoy some good food from the
VIP hospitality room. The Met Stadium is
a fan friendly stadium with ample parking and includes an RV Park- tail gating which is
a sport in itself! The event host and all the workers had that southern
hospitality charm. Vanderbilt won their game. Next we watched The Florida
Gators.

The area offers a great variety for vacation action and to

turn out great crowd so fill the stadium up and maintain the bragging rights of
the “greatest softball fans”. Let's All make a statement for all who love the game.
