Moving it each year actually inconviences more fans than it the 2 or 3 fan bases it accommodates. Why is that so hard to understand?
Or you keep in centrally located that most convenient for everyone

That’s an hour 45 from CS and by a decent sized airport. It’s fine if we’re rotating by location.

C-USA was smart enough to lock up MGM park in Biloxi. Its a great field and walking distance to tons of hotels and restaurants. I 100% think it needs to rotate as all conference tournament championships should. No homefield stadiums but there are plenty of options. Just need a little planning to rotate to new locale yearly or every 2 years or so.

45 from CS but moving away from any other SEC campus. I lived in Austin for a few years, SEC baseball is not on anyone’s minds out there.
You want to put it in Houston or a surrounding suburb that’s fine

It should be in Memphis every year.

FYI there’s big talks of the Smokies leaving Sevierville/Kodak for a new stadium in Knoxville.

the stadium and downtown area right by the stadium isn't. Don't think the fans attending the tournament will be walking around Orange Mound

Found the guy who perpetuates Memphis stereotypes yet has little to no firsthand knowledge of Memphis.

Parking is a bitch in downtown Birmingham

Was just coming here to post pictures of this! Would be great if it was bigger!

I love going to games at MGM Park, but it's tiny.

I can promise you it isn’t convenient for A&M, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, or Kentucky.
We don’t keep football centrally located. We rotate in just about every other championship. Your logic fails.

I vote Corpus Christi. It might be far enough away, and hard enough to get to, that the damn Vandy whister would not show up. If he did, it's only a short drive to the border where, for a few dollars, a permanent solution could probably be had.

Hell the Jackson Braves park in Pearl, MS is really nice too, nicer than the Met.
So many better options.

That's one I considered for my notional 4 city rotation because the stadium has a higher capacity than Suger Land and it a fantastic stadium. I don't know if Flowood/Pearl/Brandon could support it though.
Jackson is shittier than Memphis, IMO.

Yeah Babycakes are moving cities after this season. Then no telling what's happening with that stadium.

Jackson area would support the SEC tourney as far as butts in seats. Trustmark has hosted CUSA tourney several years ago.
