I like the idea of playing the SEC tournament in Pensacola but the league would be be giving up huge overall attendance numbers and some big time game atmospheres without huge upgrades to the Wahoos stadium in Pensacola...

No doubt. There will have to be improvements. I hope Pensacola does it regardless of the SEC.

As its been stated, the downtown vicinity has gone thru a good deal of revitalization lately. There is currently a huge parcel of land to the NW of the stadium bordered by Main and Government. It is begging for development which would tie the area from downtown to the stadium together. There is also a fairly large city owned beach park adjacent to the stadium that could be utilized as well.

There is also a little used ferry service from downtown to Pensacola Beach that could be expanded to make that area more of a destination for the beach crowd.
