I agree

Big 12 wins best location. Brick town in OKC is the perfect set up.

The other option in Atlanta.

Nobody wants to go to that shithole. Not even the people that live here.

Let's bring up the states located in the SEC that shouldn't get the SEC Tournament based on lack of support, geographically inconvenient, potential BLM disruption and/or inadequate facilities (for both players and fans). They would be eliminated from any consideration and not needed for further discussion in the rant until the end of time, unless some miracle happens.

-Arkansas - Little Rock (Small metro and stadium)
-Kentucky - Louisville (ACC territory)
-Mississippi - Jackson (BLM). Gulf coast minor league stadium would be nice next to all the casinos.
-Missouri - Too far


Now these are the states that should be considered for hosting the tournament, with the understanding that some may have challenges with the "geographically convenient" factor.

-Alabama
-Florida
-Georgia
-Louisiana
-Tennessee
-Texas

-Alabama only has the city of Birmingham to offer. Working so far, but, it's Birmingham.
-Florida has the Tampa/Clearwater and Orlando metro areas, but both would be a long arse drive for many fans from both Eastern and Western Divisions. Pensacola has a nice AA stadium on the water, but the city and stadium are too small.
-Georgia has metro Atlanta. The AAA stadium (Coolray Stadium) is in the suburb of Buford, which is far from shitty BLM friendly Atlanta (35 miles).
-Louisiana has a minor league stadium in Metairie, which is not located too close to BLM cesspool New Orleans. This option should be low on the hierarchy of the eligible states.
-Tennessee has several nice minor league stadiums, and Nashville and Memphis are the only 2 options. Memphis is New Orleans 'light' when it comes to potential disruption by BLM thugs. Chattanooga has a very nice stadium located in a city that would great for the SEC baseball tournament, but their AA stadium isn't large enough.
-Texas probably has the best cities to host (Dallas, San Antonio and Houston(ideal)), but would suck geographically for most SEC East fans outside of Missouri, which should really be in the SEC West.

Several of the stadium's capacity tops out in the 10,000 range, which may not be adequate. Anything else to consider?

Madison/Huntsville or Mobile Bay areas would both exceed B'ham in terms of locations in AL. But, both would need investment in location for the venue.

Joe Davis Stadium renovations in Huntsville could have been a good choice, but any venue near the beaches between Destin to Mobile would be most ideal (to include Penscacola as you mentioned), but there would need to be investment for the stadiums available.

The city of Louisville is more SEC territory than ACC, there are more UK fans there than UL fans.

Thanks for the clarification. To be honest, I would have never thought of Louisville being SEC territory. I looked at the map and it's quite far up north for a convenient location to host the SEC baseball tournament.

I disagree, it is a good thing that the other SEC baseball fans have to risk it in Dangerous Hoover.

Bring it to Sugar Land or Round Rock. I’m sure there is an Applebee’s close by for you Ricky Bobby MFers to hang out at.

There are dozens of minor league stadiums in the SE capable of hosting.
