Same would happen in Memphis. You can tell who lives close to Hoover in this thread. In the end it will come down to money, are other cities willing to buy it out of Hoover. Money talks these days. But don't give us that Hoover has more fans nonsense
Hell I could see a city getting it for threes years at a time and between three year stands have a one off location like a Biloxi or Pensicola or even a Montgomery. BIrmingham's new park could host. Just bulldoze Hoover and put up spec homes.

I don't live close to Hoover. Just trying to explain the business end of it. Hoover will put in a strong bid because they have a history to base their bid. The others don't, especially if you remove the RV option from the venue. It really won't matter to me past this year because it's probably my last if I can get rid of my rv. If I do that, I wouldn't go to Hoover or any other venue except in the rare instance that we play in the finals.
If I was lobbying for closeness, btw, I would say Pearl's Trusmark. Nicer stadium than Hoover Met if you have to have the glitz, but would be a horrible venue for the fan, convenience of hotels, etc. The only positive I could see over Regions or Memphis is a dedicated parking lot next to the stadium. Plus, you could walk across to Bass Pro and eat at Uncle Buck's Grill.
