Let’s all remember that it needs to be moved from Hoover.

So you're just gonna say it needs to be moved and not offer an alternative?

Have we entered a parallel universe where we can agree with something Farmer1906 posted?

Minute Maid is probably too big for the tournament. There are plenty of minor league parks that would work better. Constellation in Sugar Land would be a better venue, but it isn’t exactly close to the airport. Memphis and Nashville both have minor league parks too.

It would be fun having it so close to home, I think the minor league parks around the south would be better options.

First Horizon in Nashville

Regions Field In Birmingham

Autozone Park Memphis

The only reason it is still in Hoover is the rv Parking space there

It would be awesome to have it in Memphis (Autozone), Bham (regions field), Biloxi (shuckers park). Those are all close to the bigger baseball fan bases in the sec (LSU, Arkansas, MSU, ole miss) and would be great spots to host

Im fine with it being in Hoover because of tradition, but i wouldnt be opposed to it rotating locations annually either. UK rarely is poised to make any noise in it, were it in Nashville a lot more UK fans would be apt to just go for the weekend.

Conversely, rotating to other areas like Tampa or Houston or wherever, youre going to draw more fans from those arwas you otherwise wouldnt and attract many who want a new trip experience.

Basenall is such that a lot more cities should be equipped to handle the tourney crowd than the finite number that can deal with the football championship.

Stick it in Trustmark Park in Jackson. Centrally located minor league stadium with plenty of lodging and restaurants and shite around it.

It needs to be reasonably centrally located or else rotate. Sugar land or Texas in general would be absurd, Tampa or Jacksonville wouldn’t make sense.

Biloxi, montgomery, Columbus GA, Chattanooga, nashville, Mobile, and maybe a handful of others would be okay.

How centrally located is Atlanta? St Louis?

I would prefer a rotation, but there has been president to not have a tourney centrally located.

It should just go to the best venue, which is Minute Maid; though I've heard that the food there isn't that good
