My god, how $hitty of a city is Bham? At least they still get a niche sport tourney every year. The RV parking though!

They were almost in Nashville, but little Atlanta hasn't quite made it to the big time yet.

What I would give to hear Nick Saban's response to that news.

Now all those out of work Bama fans will have to hitch a ride to Atlanta if they want to dress up in ridiculous costumes while awaiting Lord Saban's arrival.

This is the real reason they moved it. The SEC staff needed a break.

They’re making it into a big fan-friendly event too. They’re doing a kickoff celebration in centennial park this Sunday and holding it in the CFB hall of fame which is a fantastic experience if you’ve never visited. Can’t exactly manage all that in a hotel ballroom of a city most people out of state don’t visit

It's been in Birmingham/Hoover/whatever since the 80s.

They moved radio row into the Omni Hotel though. That sucks.

I think it should move every couple years to each SEC venue.
BTW there’s a lot of crying going on in this thread, LOL.

Sorry Serraneaux, the Birmingham Motel 6 doesn’t give refunds. But they’ll put an extra York mint under your pillow if you seem mildly outraged.

To on campus venues?It outgrew Birmingham so I'd hate to think what would happen in Oxford,Auburn,Columbia,Knoxville,etc

Nashville would be only other place that could handle the event.

Why would the Bammers that run the SEC Office allow this to happen?

The worst if not one of the worst states in America. Congrats on your shithole.
