Living in Metro Jackson, and working downtown, I would love to see the SECCG in Jackson, but Veteran's Memorial wouldn't be a good venue. UM Medical Center would love to get its hands on the land where the stadium now sits. The stadium is outdated and not large enough, and it is much more likely that it will be torn down with a new stadium (probably smaller capacity) for Jackson State on or near its campus being built in the future.
And while the Jackson metro has increased its hotel capacity and there are a number of good restaurants, etc., Jackson would be hard pressed to be able to accomodate two large non-Mississippi fan bases in town at the same time.
