They should put it as far away from Kentucky as possible.

Lol why in the world is the tournament being held there?
Sports Politics ... and St Louis won the bid and was accepted by the committee.
But it was all about SEC Sports Politics. Wanting to make inroads into the St Louis market not just the fans but the basketball talent, TV hype, etc.

Yeah KC would be, we have tons of experience doing it. We sit further away from the other SEC schools than St Louis though and KC hosts the Big 12 tourney most years.

Our fans are going to travel wherever you put it.
The reality is though, if it's going to rotate, it should be in Kentucky at some point.

Went to St Louis last March, it was not that bad. Stayed downtown, if you dont make it to Ted Drews frozen custard you are doing it wrong. Sucked that the Arch was closed for renovations when I was there.

To be honest with ya, I don't go to St Louie much. I drive by it though on my way to Nashville and Nola, two great cities btw. You probably know more about St Louie than I do.

Exactly, it is pointless to keep it right next to Kentucky.

So Kentucky fans should be punished because they're dedicated and show up even at events further away?
frick that. If that's the case, time to rotate the baseball tournament too.

It should rotate to every SEC state.
Mississippi might suck, but everyone else has a viable arena to host.

It is not being punished. I've been to the tournament and the elderly Kentucky fans are not driving back and forth from Lexington anyway.
The baseball tournament should move too.

It should be in Nashville every year

You're such a potty mouth.

It’s also a huge shithole everywhere within city limits. NOLA, Nashville, and Atlanta are the only 3 that should ever host the tournament
NOLA isn't a shithole?

Dude, you ever been to Memphis?
It’s a legit shithole.

KC was so much fun during the big 8/12 BB tourney times. Good memories. Crazy and fun.

Yes. It's a dump. Where did I say it wasnt?

Put it in Atlanta and leave it alone.

That’s because Missouri is not a southeastern state.

Atlanta is just one giant sprawling suburb.
I do enjoy Buckhead though.
