Attendance at the sec tournament looks slim this year

It's midnight on a Thursday.

Tune in Saturday.

All the games this week have had sparse crowds

they are tired of going to alabama every year and want to see the tournament rotated to different sites..

I've heard the exact opposite from people that have gone. I haven't been able to make it yet but I can't wait to go next year

I remember when it used to rotate. It was nice traveling and seeing different parks. Now that you've got some high quality parks in the sec, I think it is time to do it again. It does suck that AL teams get it the back yard every fricking year.

I also hate that the SEC FB championship game is in Atlanta every damned year and it should move around too - especially now that you could throw a Texas stadium in the rotation.

agree but the sec decision makers don't want to lose their kickbacks

FIFY

Well Atlanta I building a replacement Georgia Dome that was built not that long ago. Certainly Super Dome is much much older.Birmingham is wanting to raise the money for a Dome for holding sporting purposes, but money is a problem. So maybe BatonRouge needs to build a new Indoor sporting facility for basketball and football some where right on the banks of the Beutiful Missisippi River. They are money makers to have indoor sports venue to being in fans for several sports. The Saints could use it and basketball, Hockey etc NCAA tournaments and maybe a place for a big Bowl site. As they talk like SEC will expand to 16 teams in next few years. I would love to see BR make the move before BHAM.

Rotating the championships makes a lot of sense, considering that you could have the football championship in a Texas NFL stadium, the Superdome, or Atlanta's new dome, which would make it easier for fans to travel to a game that would be closer once in a while.

Don't forget can now add St. Louis to that too.

After all a portion of the SEC expansion was based on increasing footprint. Might as well utilize it. I know St. Louis isn't close to most of the rest of the SEC, ain't the greatest. But these are business decisions, literally... not the recruiting kind, so utilize it just like the TX footprint.

CUSA crowds have been worse in Biloxi. The only team that has had any type of crowd is USM.

I wish Biloxi had the SEC tourney instead of CUSA

Most of those empty seats are the local Alabama fans that live next to the park that didn't even bother going this year. Every team fan base had to travel away except some Auburn fans and that ain't many.
