They're not going to host it in a major league stadium.
You can keep hating on Hoover all you want but they have done everything the SEC has ever asked them to do. They seat 12,000+, have the parking, RV park, have built practice fields, built the indoor facility to host the SEC Fanfare, etc.

I really wish they would move it to Pensacola as I think it would be so much better for the fan experience, but facility wise, nothing approaches Hoover. They have a great thing going and I don't see the SEC leaving them anytime soon.

As for Minute Maid, I live in Houston and I have sat thru a few Astros game with 8K in attendance. I love the place, but like any stadium, it sucks balls when its 15-20% full. Arlington would be even worse. Atlanta with The Battery and location would probably be a little bit better, but would still be a bad choice. And try working around consecutive series for a MLB baseball team.
