A geographic tidbit for High Minors via wikipedia:
Triple-A (or Class AAA)
"Triple-A teams are typically located in the largest metropolitan areas that do not have Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, such as Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; El Paso, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Louisville, Kentucky; and Norfolk, Virginia."
...and Portland, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, OKC, Omaha, Albuquerque, SLC, and Indianapolis.
For AA, spots are held in a few Alabama cities and still near "Braves turf" around the capital of Mississippi as well as Jacksonville. I have to think that Alabama is more ready for the NFL for a weekend draw as compared to a daily MLB event, with places like Mobile, Montgomery, Huntsville and Birmingham.
