The 16 regional hosts for the 2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament have been announced, and the road to Omaha will go through the southeast portion of the country.
A record 7 regionals will be held in SEC ball parks, with the ACC right behind, with 6 more. And the only non-Power 5 host is in the deep south as well, as in Lafayette, LA, where UL-Lafeyette of the Sun Belt will host.
The only 2 remotely western sites are the regionals hosted by TCU in Fort Worth, and Texas Tech, in Lubbock, both Big XII schools.
The northernmost regional is in Louisville, KY, which means all teams from the west, including the Pac-12, as well as the Big West, and also all teams from the north, will be headed to the hot and humid southeast next weekend.
