How does the Big 12 play their conference tournament in a state of the art enclosed MLB park in Arglington? We started the season there. I don't remember seeing any RV parking?!?!?
So glad the SEC offices have it figured out.
This would suck....

Its a soul less field with astroturf that would be 25% full as attendance would plummet due to driving distances for most schools. And make fun of the RV crowd all you want (hell I do it too), they are the heart and soul of our fanbases.
Now add up how much The Rangers are going to bid on the SEC tourney and compare it to Hoover's bid. Assuming they bid at all as they currently host the Big 12 tourney.

The better question is WHY do they do this?

Playing in a huge stadium with no one there sucks.
Sorry you’ve never done it OP

Arkansas doesn't care about conference tournaments so why do you care either way?

B12 tournament was so much better in OKC. Conf tourneys in MLB parks suck.

One is centrally located to the SEC and supports a variety of crowds.
The other would look like a Marlins Tuesday night game in Mid-Aug with a 40 person wave to circle the entire stadium.
I'm all for moving it, but an MLB ballpark on the periphery of the future conference footprint isn't the best idea, IMHO.

It would sit 50% empty for every session and 75% empty for the weekday games. Some atmosphere.

Kind of like playing an ncaa basketball game in an 80,000 seat football stadium. Cameras try not to show empty seats

Its not the quantity, its the quality. They are the diehard fans that make college sports what it is.

Rangers fan. I haven't gotten up to Globe Life yet to see it in person but everytime I see a game on TV there or pictures I get depressed. Compared to the Ballpark in Arlington it's just dissapointing. They have a gem right across the street.

Hoover ALL day. No interest in a MLB park.
All the kids playing out on the hills. Just a better setting for a college tournament.
Also better to keep it in the middle of the conference location wise.
And lastly, Arlington sux!
It is dumb the Big 12 did not keep it at Bricktown.

It’s the first year of Globe Life and it sucks.
Every year prior was in OKC and it was awesome.

Selfishly I would like it to be closer but this is correct and the MLB park would kill the whole vibe

This is what they gave up moving it from Bricktown:

The Big12 should do theirs at Roundrock or Kansas City.

If only there were statistics on how many Alumni were in or near the DFW area from each SEC program
