SEC Baseball Tournament Venue - Should It Stay or Should It Go?

I see a lot of people saying this, even some that actively WANT it in Memphis. I mean, crap, do you need a bigger light to go off to say, 'Hey, maybe this is not a good idea!'?

Safety is a very big concern. I don't think downtown is the way to go for this, I really don't.

Memphis PD does do a pretty good job keeping the riff raff out of downtown on big events, and generally there will be larger crowds in the downtown/Beale St area if it is in Memphis. That said, I wouldn't go if we were the late game and I had to park on Riverside because I don't want to deal with the panhandlers.

I agree with all that but even the thought of it tells me to keep it where it is. I mean, there are kids all over this thing. And I'm not trying to be the perfect parent here, I'm simply saying that Hoover is about the perfect location.

I will say that if they simply have to move it, I hope it's Memphis, just for proximity to Mississippi.
