We really need to move our tournament out of Redneck, AL.

It would be nice to have it in a place with better hang out spots than Arbys.

Hoover is a dump. But of course it won’t be moved because of the agenda.

Hoover maybe a lot of things but a dump it is not. I am good with it moving around some but there is nothing wrong with Hoover.

agreed

I'd love to see it in Chattanooga, their park is amazing and the downtown is FAR superior to anything Hoover has to offer

and I live in Hoover

It looks that way because it is and it isn’t even a little close.

What the frick are you even talking about? The Preserve is literally a 5 minute drive from the Met and is filled with good food, solid drinks, and milfs.

International bb league is not allowing college tournaments in their stadiums next year. So no Charlotte or Durham for the ACC next season.

We could be headed back to Greenville.

I would rather it be even in Huntsville than Hoover.

they have had a record attendance through yesterday so today's crowd will put them well over that.

They have a better format too. SEC needs to switch to that so pitching isn't strained for everyone

The new Trash Pandas stadium

Or renovate the old Stars stadium and use that venue for something instead of being an eyesore

I'm not a fan of the hoover location, but redoing the format is much more important then the location. The current single elimination to double elimiination back to single elimination is just weird.

It’s not sexy, but pool play is the best way to go. It guarantees games and doesn’t overwork pitching.

the Hoover Met is a horrible location, absolutely NOTHING right there at the park

Railroad Park would be a lot better, but still not as cool as Chattanooga or a host of other locations

walk out the door and dozens of places to go within 5 blocks

This is too specific. The whole damn state is a dump.

I've been all over Alabama and nowhere would I say "it was nice".

I'm of the opinion if you keep it at 12 teams, then just do single elimination like the SEC software tournament does. Format seems to work fine there.
