Welp. This could be fun.

The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation is submitting a bid to host the event, while the Louisiana Legislature quickly advances a bill that leaders hope will help lure the tournament to town.

Thread on this last week. Most voted for Nashville or Memphis if not in Hoover.

I still think Biloxi would be the most fun outside of the longer trips (Nashville)

I would rather it go back to rotating from school to school. LSU hosted them and they were great. Also many SEC parks are better than Zephyr field. I just hate hoover

If Zephyr field is what it takes to get the tourney out of that god forsaken state of Alabama, then so be it. I agree, being at the Box would be so much better, but anywhere is better than Hoover.

Not enough seating capacity for the SEC tournament. Only holds about 6,000 including using the outfield berm.

They better look into pouring some money into Zephyr Field to upgrade it first.

I was at AutoZone in December. It's perfect.

One would think new Zephyrs ownership has a hand in this effort with upgrades in mind.

It's going to be in Nashville and I'm going to be so happy.

Other than being closer for LSU fans do you really think Zephyr Field is better than Hoover? Hoover has a lot of hotels in the general area and Hoover is definitely nicer than the area around Zephyr Field. I'd be surprised to see this happen. Only way I see it is if it goes on a rotation and I'm not sure I see that happening anytime soon.
