The North Carolina stranglehold on hosting ACC tournaments has been broken, at least for now.
University of Louisville baseball fans, who have grown accustomed to extended seasons, will now get to see even more post-season games at home in Louisville. Not the home stadium, but downtown at Slugger Field in 2017.
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Tuesday that the ACC baseball tournament will be played in downtown Louisville. The tournament has long been hosted at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park but moved by the conference as a result of the bathroom legislation (yeah, that bathroom legislation) in North Carolina.
