Just get it the hell away from Alabama. Would be great to see it in NO except for the possibility of fans being murdered.
Memphis or Nashville should get the nod IMHO.

You're worried about crime yet you suggest Memphis.

New Orleans - stadium is comparable to Hoover, not sure if RV parking would be available, absolutely nothing of interest from a tourist standpoint (hotels, restaurants, etc.) walking distance. (Forget the shopping center across Airline!)
Memphis - fantastic stadium in heart of downtown Memphis. Walking distance to plenty hotel rooms, restaurants and Beale Street. From what I'm told, parking could be a problem, especially for RVs.
Nashville - brand new, gorgeous stadium about 7 blocks from hotels, restaurants and music on Broadway. Don't know about parking situation.
Jacksonville - new, gorgeous stadium adjacent to Jaguars football stadium. I'd assume plenty parking for cars and RVs since football stadium is next door.
Personally, I'm for rotating the tourney between SEC East and SEC West venues and would vote for Memphis and Nashville. SEC Tournament is sort of like a bowl game trip and it would be nice to go somewhere with some night life.

WTeverlovingF ?????
You DO realize that Zephyr Field is in Metairie, right ?????
Also, Tourney fans going to NOLA are not going to be 'murdered', or even experience any crime..UNLESS they happen to be gang members or drug dealers in the inner city crackhouses - where 90% of the murders happen....

Because murders don't happen in Memphis... Last time i was there there were two murders in consecutive days within 5 blocks of that stadium.
ETA: We went to a game there, and yes it was a great stadium. When we came out two exists were blocks and a whole street because there was a shooting in the hotel across the street during the game. Asked an officer about it and he said 2nd in two days. Jut sayin'

Why? There are two SEC schools there. I'm cool with rotating and having Hoover as one of the rotating spots.

Maybe I'm ignorant but I don't recall hearing of too many murders down Airline in Metairie.
