Back to Hoover: SEC announces change in 2021 Media Days destination

Who doesn’t love spending four days in Hoover, Ala.?

That’s apparently what the SEC thinks as it has announced that 2021 Media Days will once again be held at the Wynfrey Hotel in the Birmingham suburb instead of Nashville in which the event was originally planned to be held.

From the SEC press release:

SEC Football Media Days, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is now scheduled to be held at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham – The Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, July 19-22.  The Wynfrey Hotel has been the site of the signature event 18 times in the last 19 occurrences.

“Nashville’s success with the NFL Draft in 2019 was a point of attraction when we originally selected it as site for SEC Football Media Days, but the current environment related to the virus will not allow us to explore some of the unique fan experiences we had hoped to pursue in Nashville for this event,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. “With two years to prepare, we look forward to making SEC Media Days an even bigger event in Nashville in 2023.”

Sooooo …. see you in Hoover?
