SEC Media Days Moving To Atlanta In 2018

While SEC Media Days is usually hosted in Hoover, AL, the event will take place at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

HOOVER, AL— For SEC football enthusiasts, summer is always a time to celebrate because SEC Football Media Days gives everyone a chance to start getting hyped up for the fall season.
This event has traditionally been held in Hoover, and has been a mainstay of the city since 1985. This will not be the case next year.

According to a Southeastern Conference press release, Greg Sankey, Commissioner, announced today that the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta will be the event’s primary venue starting in 2018. The press release also said that Media Days will return to Hoover in summer 2019, but the event will most likely travel to different locations while coming back to Hoover every so often.
