So WKU is hosting it, but not at the school's ballpark?

Sounds like a good set-up. Are there many restaurants/bars/hotels within walking distance of the park?

This is great news. I knew that WKU was trying to get the tourny at BG ball park but I didn't hear until now whether they actually did.

Much, much better facility than the on campus one. And better concessions.

WKU hosted UK at BG park a couple of years ago and it set the record for attendence for a college baseball game in the state of Kentucky.

Great venue, encourage as many Sunbelt baseball fans to come check it as can.

Thanks, but if I go to that stadium during the tournament I'd be drinking alone...

In one small area. And you can't take the beer back to your seat.

BG Ballpark is all around a better venue. Excited about the tourney!

WKU drew over 7K the last few years against UK to set the all-time attendance for a collegiate baseball game in the state of Kentucky. Park is very nice and seats about 7-8K.

That's a pretty sweet ballpark.
