Attendance sucks. Watching on TV and attendance looks like a mid week non conference game. I guess as long as SEC offices are in Bama it will not change.

Where would it be moved that would be better…?

I’m guessing you haven’t seen any of the MASSIVE crowds at the Big12 tournament in Arlington

Attendance has been great.

They had over 10K there yesterday.

A rotational setup would be nice

Sugarland or Round Rock

Memphis

Pensacola

What if they moved the tournament to the start of conference play mid season ?
Might create some interesting matchups early on and get people talking .
Unlike other conferences the SEC doesnt need the tournament to get a team into the NCAA Tournament.

You should go then

Hoover is the best place for it.

I attended both games yesterday.

Seemed pretty crowded to me.

Mostly LSU fans for the first game, by a large margin.

Mostly Bama fans for the second game, by a large margin.

You know people work right? How many people are gonna take a week off for a college baseball tournament that isn’t named the College World Series?


Where would a better spot be?

Huge crowds when LSU played and when Auburn and Alabama played.
Otherwise, not so much.

The 4 teams with the weakest travel fan base are left. Wouldn’t be any bigger crowd anywhere else. That being said…the parking situation and concessions were a cluster this year.

That is because LSU isn't playing.

It’s in Bama’s and Auburns backyard and there were barely any Bama or Auburn fans here. I talked to a few Bama baseball fans and they were embarrassed by their fans showing.

Not many Florida fans either. Probably were more LSU fans than most other teams combined. Still a lot of LSU fans here. We are going to the FL and Vandy game and head back in the morning.

Not sure moving it will increase attendance. The weather has been unbelievable. 80 degrees right now with a nice breeze.

Hate to break it to you.. a lot of people don’t care about college baseball. We are in the minority. Look around the country, the crowds are worse than a junior high game.

I like the Hoover location. It seems like a nice way to get out into the open country. It’s centralized so that’s a plus. It holds at least 15,000 fans. I hope it stays in Hoover.

Why not just get rid of the Tournament all together. If the conferences are so concerned about getting teams in the NCAA just have a play in game for bubble teams.
