If a ranked Bama playing at night can't bring in anywhere near a full crowd, put it somewhere that draws more people or at least to another park not resembling the late 80's...

Or just make it more interesting than baseball.
I don't get why it has to be neutral. Take it to the home stadium of one of the strong teams/best facilities on a rotating basis. Hell, have them bid for it.
MWC baseball tournament is here in Vegas this week, they didn't have to move it to St. George or something to make it neutral and hard to get to for everyone.

I don't see why it can't be in Frisco.

I bet this gets discussed every year. Hoover's ballpark looks a little meh. Where would a better spot be? New Orleans(frick LSU)? Atlanta? Houston(best ballpark but least central)?

They just built an amazing new baseball stadium in downtown birmingham but not sure why the SECT is still in hoover

We have the SoCon tournament at Joe Riley Stadium here in Charleston. Given I'm biased as Charleston is where I live and I work for the team that plays in said stadium, I would love for us to have it here. It's a great destination location and the stadium is pretty nice.
Unfortunately it's merely a pipe dream as the city is inconvenient for everyone except for South Carolina and maybe Georgia or Florida. Oh well. Maybe Gwinnett?

Its fricking stupid that this tournament never moves. I've never been to the SECT. Have it in Memphis or Texas or Little Rock and I'm there.
Then send it to Georgia or South Carolina for a couple of years.
Give other fanbases a chance to go without taking a week off work.

Whitaker Ballpark (KC Royals AA team) in Lexington is muuuuuuuuuuuuuch better then the concrete jungle in Hoover.

I'd vote to rotate it around, along with every other sport championship.
Except SEC golf needs to be played at Augusta National every year.

Pretty sure Golfer starts this same shitty thread every year at tournament time. Find another venue with RV parking.

I vote for anywhere other than Hoover.

Announcers in this game talking about how the "great Mississippi State fans come to this event every year". No shite, Sherlock. Its a two hour drive for them, every single year.
Put it within 5 hours drive of Fayetteville and I'm there.
