Yes, and at only $5, they don't bend you over like they do at football games.

Let's see how much pull tu has. This is basically their backyard.


jfc you are pathetic. If it's in anyone else's back yard it's fine but if it's in ours "OMFG TU RUIN THE SRC!"
lmao. The reason you don't win is because you can't get us out of your heads.
I don't give a shite where they hold the tourney. We're newbies in this conference. We have to earn our voice. Have it in Florida for all I fricking care.

What needs to happen is get the Football championship out of that crap hole Atlanta. Those folks are so stupid they will re elect Fani Wills who used $600000 taxpayer dollars to support her sexcapades, where is the Governor? Where is the Georgia Bar Association? Crap hole.

It's like holding a tournament at L. Dale Mitchell Field instead of Bricktown. Makes no sense.

You must be confused. We are discussing the South Eastern Conference tournament. Why would the SEC hold their tournament in the midwest? Bricktown sounds like a wonderful place and a great location for the Big 12 tournament. They should move it there and Aggie should go back to the Big 12.


You’d be happy. We’d be happy. It sounds like the perfect solution.

Not gonna disagree there lol. They should bring the tournament back to Bricktown. Won’t have a horse to watch but nice ballpark and good location

RV parking, specifically. LSU fans freaked out when moving to Regions Field was even mentioned

Was my favorite week of they year for probably 10-12 years. Haven't been in a few but I loved the RV parking. I don't know how much longer that can hold it. Hoover has tried to make improvements but not sure it will go there the next bid. I no longer go but if they need to move it, that's fine. The Birmingham office could sway again I suppose, but Hoover is going to really have to ante up to keep it. I will be sad if it leaves though.

Maybe the tournament has changed since I last went. Do they lock the fans in the stadium now and not let them leave?

If you can’t find something to do within an hour of Birmingham you just aren’t trying.

I think some of you have synced your periods. That is the only explanation I can come up with for all of this bitching and moaning.

Same energy as when people complain about shite concessions you say... WELL EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.... SHUT UP OR LEAVE!!! THERE ARE THUNGS TO DO IN BIRMINGHAM....SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING.

Aside from football, baseball is our premier sport, and we host the tournament in Hoover ala-fuxking bama because the parking lot is big....we can do better

You seem very well balanced. I can’t believe they haven’t listened to your well reasoned and well conveyed thoughts and moved the tournament.

Would be awesome considering its 2 miles from where I live. You could fish and tailgate at the same time, and then walk to Palafox after the game and walk around and eat and drink.


Every time I go down for work I find myself enjoying an evening at Plaza de Luna on the company dime. Eat. Slam some drinks then relax and watch the tugs.

I mean...it be nice. How kuch fun do fans have invading Broadway in Nashville after a game? Why does everyone act like the fan experience has to begin and end w the game. Lots of fans like to make whole trips out of stuff like this

Some of yall act like if it's in a fun destination, they aren't going to play baseball...you can have both

Grizzlies minor league ballpark in Sauget, Illinois hold 8,000 right in the interstate and is minutes away from all of the East St. Louis attractions.

Same people that support blue laws no doubt....if I don't enjoy it you shouldn't either. I don't want to go out in a fun city so we don't need to move it! I just want to park in my same spot, put on my headphones and record stats for 12 solid hours.... playing in Hoover is fine!!
