Shreveport basically has an opening at Fairgrounds Field. Sure there needs to be some upgrades done but the city would make money on that after one year. What's your thoughts?

No because it's a shithole. It's a shame they let it get that way.

It's not centralized at all.

I wish the SECT was held at the Gwinnett Braves AAA stadium. That venue is REALLY nice...and Atlanta is the typical centralized location for SECT's in general.

Casino hotels, easy trip for LSU, Arkansas, and Landmass fans.

I support.

What does centralized matter anymore? Everyone takes planes. Shreveport would be closer for Arky, TAMU, MIZZOU, LSU, and probably Ole Miss and state.

Atlanta is not centralized at all. Bama/Miss is central. Georgia is east, especially Atlanta.

Well as long as those blue-chip fanbases are happy, everyone wins.

As a Shreveport native, hellllll no. Fairgrounds field is an absolute dump and it's in the hood.

This is actually the correct answer. Rotate every other year, Memphis and Atlanta.

Attendance would be incredible in Memphis.

It's not going to work with the strippers

Might as well have it in the roughest neighborhood of Memphis then.

Second that. The city wouldn't be the only ones making money. I'm sure there would be a couple of armed robbers raking it in too
