Sounds legit IMO.


Bama has had homefield advantage in the SEC Baseball Tourney since '92. It's really a travesty but, as I understand it, it's a concession that was made to Birmingham years ago to placate them for benefits afforded the SEC home office staff and the Bama athletic department people ... the perks, get-out-of-jail-free cards, getting traffic tickets fixed, free hooers, stuff like that. They hold the SEC baseball tourney in B-ham and it helps to cover the perk expenses afforded to "them" by the city during the course of the year.

A friend was the LSU alum president in B.ham for over 15 yrs, and as such, he got invited to represent LSU in the league's box suite along with the other schools' alum presidents during the tourney. He said that whenever bama played a game, the number of men wearing the red blazers..go figure that one...of the SEC were 90% bama fans. Which is probably typical of the league office itself.

Perfect for Nashville's new park. Notice the titans stadium right across the river? Boom, motorhomes go there with those hookups

It is in Germantown though correct? Motorhomes could easily still be at LP field

Here is the correct rendering of the new stadium:

Yes, in Germantown next to the Bicentennial Mall. Not on the Cumberland and in the part of town that the rendering suggests.

LP field is a good ways away from there. That park should be tits though.

Edit: Nashville should play host to as many conference events as possible, imo. Best city with a central location and is already an SEC melting pot.

Yes. Nashville would be a much better option than Hoover and that shitehole that is Birmingham.

It needs to be in pensacola, beach + baseball is a much easier sell for people with families that want to go.

Got any pics of what Sewell-Thomas will look like after the upgrades? For Bama basketball fans sake hopefully Coleman is next on the list. That place is a dump.

It honestly needs to be anywhere but Hoover. shite park in a boring arse town. Nashville and Memphis are by far better options
