re: Where would you move the SEC baseball tournament to?

A lot of people seem unhappy with the present location. I'd like to see a rotation of three or four cities unless and until they find a place that seems to really work well to be the permanent home.

There are lots of good options already suggested that have nice venues and are conveniently located. My personal choices would probably be Memphis and either Birmingham or Hoover since they don't have other big SEC events.

Nashville, Atlanta, and New Orleans also seem like pretty good options but they have other big SEC events and I like the idea of spreading things around. Some of the other parks look nice (like Pensacola), but I don't think the venue is big enough.

Look at the SEC footprint and what city with a minor league field is most central?

About a year ago, someone posted on here that they did the math and determined that the geographic center of the SEC had shifted from the Birmingham area to the Huntsville area after Mizzou and A&M were added to the conference. I don't know how accurate that info is, but it seems to make sense, from what I can tell.

As for Huntsville, it does have a AA minor league team called the Stars. Their stadium is nice (was built about 30 years ago and renovated/upgraded about 10 years ago). Recently, the owner has said that it needs to be modernized again or replaced altogether. The city has declined to do so, so the Stars will be moving to Biloxi. I suppose that, despite the owner's claim that the park is now obsolete, it would be sufficient enough to host an SEC tournament.
