A few weeks ago I reported our harrowing experience of trying to get to a volleyball tournament in Little Rock in the middle of an ice and snow storm. Well this week, having just returned from Louisville, we are planning to head to Atlanta for the Big South tournament. As it turns out the SEC Basketball Tournmanet is not the only tournament looking for a new location. The Georgia World Congress Center where the tournament was to be held was severely damaged during last Friday’s storms in downtown Atlanta. The Governor of Georgia has officially closed the GWCC, thus the tournament directors are trying to relocate the tournament to alternate sites. Looking at the pictures it is easy to understand why the GWCC could not accommodate the 38,000 volleyball players planning to compete in the tournament.
The Big South tournament has stated that they will make a decision by 4pm EST today as to whether or not they have been able to relocate the tournament.
Update: Update from Big South this afternoon.
