Does adding OU and Texas to the SEC persuade the moving of the SEC baseball Tournament?

I saw Kendall Rogers tweet something about Globe Life making a possible run at hosting future SEC baseball tournaments in Arlington. Do you guys think that its a chance since we would have more western schools with pull? I think Hoover is garbage and would welcome a move to the DFW area

It should rotate

It will remain in gump-land

The SEC will do whatever brings in the most money.

I think if they start to rotate it, they need to reward the long time conference members first and not the new dickbags. Put it in Nashville, Biloxi, or Memphis.

Why is Hoover garbage?

The annual bitch about hoover thread i see. Id like to rotate. But only if we can include the superdome somehow

Alabama runs the SEC. Tournament is not leaving Hoover.

Look up how many SEC execs live in Hoover.
There’s your answer!

It could force the SEC officer to move to Houston or Dallas or Atlanta. That might be a good thing.

GL would be great

Both the Ceasars Superdome and Mercedes Dome in Atlanta are available this time of year, along with Jerry's World. Put it on a rotational basis, and take the weather out of the equation. Never happen though with the Birmingham crowd running the SEC.

It should rotate. So should the SEC football championship game.

That doesn't make much sense geographically.
If they rotate, maybe.
If not, maybe Memphis but as much as I hate the Gumps, Hoover makes some sense geographically.

Don’t know but I really hope we don’t start putting big SEC events in Texas. At least not until those schools earn it.

The Big 12 is moving its tournament to Arlington this year and the contract runs through 2024. Of course there may not be a Big 12 in 2024, so who knows?
Globe Life Field would be a fantastic place to host the SEC tournament. It's not a bandbox, the way Minute Maid Park is. It probably plays more like the Omaha park -- minus the headwinds -- than any of the SEC's alternatives.
Why play it indoors? Because there's always a chance the temperatures in Hoover will climb to 90 degrees or more. But mainly, playing at Globe Life Field would assure there would be no rain delays or postponements.
The place is a gem. Plenty of creature comforts. Escalators and elevators. Sit-down restaurants on every level. Two giant video boards. Abundant parking (the Cowboys stadium is right next door).
A second hotel will be finished right next to the stadium by the end of this year, so there will be four good hotels within walking distance, plus another dozen or more within a short drive.
Adjoining the ballpark is Texas Live, which has bars, places to eat, big TVs all over the place. It's perfect for pre or post game.
The main thing, of course, would be the idea of breaking that chain that exists between the conference office and the state of Alabama. There are some nice big cities in the SEC footprint -- Nashville, Memphis, St. Louis and now Houston, DFW and Oklahoma City. Why get stuck in Hoover every year?

It absolutely should rotate.

I used to be for a rotation, until I attended one year. Hoover was badass.

Bid and award by year, just like Final Fours etc.
