It needs to be moved to Nashville and played in the brand new AAA park here




Oh yeah right. In order to be more "Neutral" let's move it from the pseudo home of a bubble team..... the the very backyard of the College World Series Champions.

There's lots of places it could be held. I think they should rotate it.

Vandy fans don't really get out unless they are playing on West End.

There have been neutral site b-ball games at Bridgestone for the SEC-Big East challenge that have had less than 1,000 Vandy fans in attendance. Put the game 1 mile back on campus and they would get 12-13k for the same game. It's weird.

You make it sound like there's a ton of Vandy fans up there.

And this would happen when they had a good team those years. Even the SEC basketball tournament is lightly attended by Vandy fans in Nashville.

Very true. Bowl games would be the exception.

Memphis already has a nicer stadium.

It's probably more to do with those games not being part of their season ticket package.

I hate the Met. I wish they had made a deal with Shelton State CC to play the games in Tuscaloosa.

Bama fans for the most part wouldn't care if the tournament was moved. The Met is probably a lot cheaper than those other stadiums. I would love for the tournament to be in Nashville

Yeah ... McCarver is a nice park if you want you car jacked and your life endangered.

Of course, you could always stay at the Peabody and watch the game through your tiny fricking hotel window that will not open.

No vote to Memphis.

The game should either be rotated among venues within the league or played in various neutral cities like Charlotte, Dallas, Orlando, etc.
