It should be moved to Gwinnett Braves stadium here in Buford GA. Good bars all around and tons of hotels and plenty of RV parking.

I don't see why so many LSU fans want it moved. They want it moved to New Orleans but the SEC will never move it to that land locked piece of crap stadium so why do LSU fans care? Might as well leave it in Hoover where it has some history. Attendance was as high as ever. So the tournament isn't hurting.



that's a pretty a blanket statement. most lsu fans i know just want to see it moved around. your attendance point is valid but it's time to give some other cities a chance.

19 years isn't exactly a long history

the tournament needs to rotate, and of all the possible sites, hoover is probably the worst. the only people who don't want it moved are those that live in the area and those who just don't like change

And therefor parking would be a nightmare

no it wouldn't. they have no problem hosting the NBA playoffs and memphis in may (a month long of festivals) with thousands more people in attendance

I know they did the last time the SEC asked for bids. Hmmmm maybe they didn't submit one this time. Oh well, it was for more selfish reasons anyway cause I live 10 mins from there. :cheers

Hoover haters unite!



HATER: Birmingham sucks arse. There's nothing to do.

ME: Oh yeah, when where you there last?

HATER: Ahhh I've never been, but it sucks arse. Just look at the terrible field.

HATER2: So boring. Nowhere to go after the games.

ME: What would you like to do?

HATER2: Go out somewhere.

ME: So bars dont exist in Birmingham?

HATER2: No, they do, they just suck.

ME: Oh yeah, which ones?

HATER2: I dont know, they all do.

HATER: We should have it at a neutral site, like Yankee Stadium or Wrigley.


etc etc etc.

been to the SECT in Hoover several times and have been out in Birmingham plenty. I still think having the SECT at the Met sucks. What do I win?

I'm not a huge fan of mentphis, but it's where the tourney should move, because autozone park is very nice and in a downtown setting.

Would make for an interesting walk to your car @ 2 am after a 14 inning game.
