re: SEC Baseball Tournament Seeding as of 5/9/16

I was looking through my Hoover RV park packet for this year's tournament and several things stood out to me. Could be meaningless or it could mean someone has tipped their hand in the contract negotiations for 2017 and beyond.

1) The instructions for reserving a spot for next year are the same as always. We start calling at 8:30 AM on the Tuesday following Memorial Day. This is not really that surprising because they probably won't process your credit card until after the Spring meetings when the site is announced.
2)This is the most surprising. The Park is going to close from June 1 this year until May 1 of next year to remodel and renovate the existing park plus add 30 new RV spots. The only time the park is full is during the SEC tournament. So why would additional rv spots be needed?
3) Hoover is building a $70mm Sports Complex near the Hoover Met but I am not sure that type facility would have a heavy RV need. Multiple soccer fields, baseball fields, etc., but not really what you would think requires more RV spots.
4) So, a couple of weeks ago, I had it 50/50 between Hoover and Memphis. I think I will reconsider that and make it 60/40 Hoover.
Thoughts?
