re: Why isn’t the SEC Basketball Tourny in Memphis

I only brought this up in response to the NOLA thread: it is better than NOLA. It’s probably the most neutral and central site in SEC territory. The only other neutral site in the SEC is probably DFW and that isn’t exactly central plus DFW is honestly a better place to live than it is to visit.
Memphis has a ton of history to check out, great food, live music, places to party, and plenty of lodging within a 10 minute walk to FedEx. It also caters to all budgets though the hotels are slightly older and smellier than you would expect from the same brands in other cities.
