Oh look, another LSU fan bitching about the SEC Baseball Tournament being held at the Met.

When are you going to start your thread complaining about the SEC Championship Game being held in Atlanta?

because the SEC is lazy. if they want to keep it in Birmingham, at least move it to the new stadium instead of keeping it in this dump out in the suburbs

Don't just complain, tell us which venue you would move the tourney to?

It doesn't help that it's the 9:30 game either.

RV parking and the SEC headquarters being right down the road help. The contract runs out next year and I hope they'll play it in a few new stadiums. I want to see it at Turner Field one year.

Because Alabama still runs the SEC. That's the honest simple answer. Thought you guys would know this by now. DWI.

there have been dozens upon dozens of threads listing better venues. Is it really necessary to start another one?

That new stadium with 2,000 less seats and not enough parking around it... Yep makes sense.

I don't really plan on it. But it would be cool to play it in Nashville one year. New Orleans one year. St. Louis. Houston. Atlanta. Memphis. Jackson.

I think it's painfully obvious to everyone BUT the SEC admins...in BIRMINGHAM, that this venue has run its' course for this event. IF, one wants to GROW the sport....MOVE it around ! ANYWHERE, is better !

it's all part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy to piss off the lswho fans!

alright, then yeah might as well move it out of Birmingham. Literally the only thing the Hoover Met has going for it is the concrete jungle outside for RVs. The SEC simply just doesn't have the SEC baseball tournament venue high on its list of priorities. It works fine in Birmingham, so they see no need to go through the hassle, even if it could be better elsewhere.
