This is really simple.
ATL is THE market of captive eyeballs for the SEC.
Its most SEC teams largest alumni base outside their home state.
It’s a new indoor arena for a Dec game
Atlanta is a convention town and already hosts larger events than the SECC. Hotels, flights, restaurant capacity, etc are commensurate with crowds.
The game has been there for near 30 years without incident.
The SEC will not take the risk of losing ATL as a host site to the ACC.
I’m not opposed to doing it elsewhere if the SEC could keep our priority status at the Benz.

The new Nashville stadium will take it.
