The baseball tournament did very well in Greenville (SC).
No so well in Salem (Va).
I'm hoping that my hometown of Richmond, VA can get its act together and finally build a new baseball stadium. I'm biased, but I think ACC fans would find Richmond to be a very enjoyable destination for something like the ACC baseball tournament. The food & beer scene has really exploded in the last decade and become well-regarded among people in those circles.
There's been talk of the city, minor league team, and VCU partnering to construct a new stadium, so hopefully that takes shape in the next couple years.
