I’m here for that. Bring that shite to Nola
not to hijack this thread about the baseball tournament because i love the Hoover Met, but the SEC football championship definitely should rotate between ATL, Nola, & Dallas.

I’m with you. Hoover tournament is on my bucket list with my RV and selfishly don’t want it to change.

SEC FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOULDN'T BE IN GEORGIA EVERY YEAR.

SEC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT SHOULDN'T BE IN HOOVER EVERY YEAR.


THE END.

Hoover stadium needs to add seating in the outfield. Probably another 2000 seats if they did it right

Every single person knew that Texas would come in and try to strong arm the SEC. It’s what they do. They’ve destroyed every conference they’ve ever been in.


Why would anyone expect them to act differently now.

I don't expect them to act differently. I expect them to act the exact same they always have.

It's why I didn't and still don't want them in the league and I don't want them being allowed to dictate terms of anything going forward.

Good. As it should the SEC Football Championship game too. frick Georgia and their built in advantage every year


This is the right answer. TX will whine and be perpetually annoying, but the Bama & GA lock on conference championships is total BS.

Move the games around between venues.

For decades LSU was the most western team of the SEC.


Not sure who the most eastern team is, gotta be between SCAR and Gators.

Nah they never changed baseball or football championship venues with any other expansions. They did experiment with basketball venues like St Louis.

I wouldn’t hate it if the Sec men’s basketball tournament was played in Nola.

SEC Football should rotate between:
Atlanta, Nola, Houston, Arlington, Nashville (once their new stadium is built)

SEC baseball should rotate between:
Hoover, Biloxi, Sugar Land, Pensacola, Nashville

I understand why they don’t rotate though. They know what they’re getting with the venues in Hoover and ATL. Consistently.

I've got no problem with keeping baseball in Hoover. I'd prefer it stay there.

Football should not be in Atlanta every year. Nice stadium sure, but that game should rotate between ATL/Dallas/NO. Domes only.

The basketball tournament should rotate, and it should never be played in large football arenas.

Correct. They can go to a neutral location with a years worth of planning for all of the things outside of the 3 hour game.


Incorrect

Other conferences have already done what I’m saying the SEC should do. Therefore, it’s already been proven that it’s possible.

Also, there have been numerous other times when games have had to be rescheduled or moved to a new venue. See LSU-Florida 2016
