Surprised the SEC doesn't just book Legion Field, it would TOTALLY fit with their 'BamaCentric nature.

Gotta be trolling with that statement. LF is a rusting shithole that should be torn down. It has too small of capacity since they removed the upper decks and no luxury suites.

This, however, is a sensible idea. Tampa would be a nice fit, so would Orlando, but again, you have a bowl tie-in there, same as Tampa and New Orleans

---

Tampa and Orlando are too far to the east just like Dallas and Houston are too far to the west. ATL and NOLA are the only logical choices for the SECCG, but NOLA has the winner going to the Sugar Bowl (unless in the playoffs) so they don't need the SECCG.

I understand and sort of agree with the championships being static as it gives teams, programs and fanbases a consistent goal and destination. Hoover Met. seems a nice enough facility. But man, having the baseball tournament at the stadium in Memphis would be a lovely thing.

The Hoover Met is a high school football stadium with leaking shitter pipes. The baseabll tournament needs to rotate between Memphis, Bham, Pensacola and Biloxi (throw some temporary seats for the last 2, baseball at the beach baby). I also like the idea of having it at Minute Maid Park in Houston, but it would never sell out and I don't think the SEC wants half the stadium empty for every game. It might be okay to have an empty game when UGA and Mizzou are playing in the opening game but not when LSU and SCAR are playing in the final.
