a quick eyeballing says that Nashville has direct flights to/from a significant minority of SEC college towns. That’s an issue.
true, it does shorten the drive for most fan bases except Georgia/FL/Aub/SC. And it does have direct flights from Austin which is your furthest drive at 12 hrs. Unfortunately no nonstop out of OKC for Oklahoma, can see it being an issue.
Though some people might take the layover for a nicer city.

The SEC in Birmingham is filled with Bama fan employees.

They aren’t adjusting the two easy access locations for Alabama & Auburn.

The SEC HQ should be in Destin to remove impartiality.

New Orleans doesn’t have a suitable or decent baseball facility to handle the SEC tournament.


The Hoover Met wasn’t a great facility, either.

Zephyr Field could get the same upgrades that the Hoover Met received these last 27 years.

They should move it to somewhere that has a beach. Hit up the beach or do some fishing when you’re not at the ball park. Hell of a way kick off the summer.

Baseball stays in Hoover . I live here.

Football moves to New Orleans. Everything else doesn’t matter.

The playoff games move around. But you already knew that.

Pensacola Blue Wahoos but it only holds 5K

Steinbrenner Field in Tampa holds 11K

Yeah I always thought Tampa area would be a good spot with all the spring training ball parks

Or work something out with the Rays to use theirs for the week.

I've been saying this for years. Not many people care and I can't figure out why. I say rotate it around.
