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.

The Barons stadium would also be a better choice


From what I've been told by the Gumps, Barons stadium is too small (8,500 capacity) and parking is an issue downtown.

Would love to see it rotate different SEC venues. Most stadiums in the SEC are large and nice enough to accommodate a tournament.

Zephyr field isn't that great. The area sucks too.
