I don’t understand why the ACC wouldn’t want to rotate between South Florida & Atlanta every year.
If they can get it, they want ATL 100%
ATL is where most SEC and ACC alumni and fans actually live and work. It is the only reason you hear the b1G fanboys talk about adding the Bumbles to the B1G.
Try to learn about the conference you are joining instead of trying to show us how little you actually know.

Insecurity has nothing to do with it. As for myself, I live in Southern California, not Atlanta. Atlanta has many advantages over Nashville that are too numerous to list. The only city that would have an outside shot, I must admit, would be Dallas, Texas, and that would only be on an every-other-year basis. If any kind of rotation would be considered, it would only be between Atlanta and one other city in the western side of the SEC, namely Dallas. Houston would be OUT for sure along with New Orleans. One year Atlanta, the next Dallas, then Atlanta, and so on. Otherwise, Atlanta has this game....Atlanta's a beautiful city with lots of attractions and things to do...it's tranportation options are the best hands down of ANY city including Dallas, Houston, and Nashville.
You live in Southern Cal huh? That makes sense because your take is incredibly outdated. Atlanta’s public transportation is true garbage. The Marta is awful, down Atlanta is a desolate dump, and crime is riddled throughout the city. Also saying you understand Dallas but no other city doesn’t even make sense.

Atlanta Dallas Nashville Houston Miami or Tampa
Atlanta = yes for CFB
Dallas = hell no
Nashville = yes for MCBB and WCBB
Houston = probably no
Miami = hell no (SEC is N FL, YankeeLand = S FL)
Tampa = hell no (hard to get to, no nearby SEC)
The bigger question is baseball and softball. That might be good to establish the annual games more West than East.

Atlanta is still a hub airport and set up hotel and infrastructure wise a hell of a lot better than Tennessee
Total passengers 20,045,685
Aircraft operations 244,667
And just under 90,000 hotel rooms in the metro, and you can use the public transportation network without gangbangers.

I think we can all agree Georgia football would have 0 SEC championships if the game wasn't played in Atlanta.

Will we continue to have SECCG after Texas and Oklahoma join?

That's $3M lost in ticket sales.
Money will not be lost. All this means is that the ticket prices will go up. Just look at Auburn situation in Basketball. If auburn had a bigger arena the tickets would be so high, but since they hold 9K it drives the prices up on tickets. Bigger the stadium the lower ticket cost, the smaller the stadium the higher the cost of tickets.

The times that UGA has played bama in the SECCG, are there still more dawg fans at that game than bama fans?
LSU is much further from Atlanta than Alabama..

Historically, I don’t doubt it. But you have to think about the present bigger context.
Younger alum are moving in droves to Florida & Texas. Plus, once you factor in Mizzou, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas & Texas A&M, it represents a massive westward expansion of the SEC’s footprint. Houston is overflowing with LSU folks who’d love to have it here.
Sankey & the SEC have made this all about the $$$. Such is this new era of the mega-conference.

Uh no, Atlanta is 3x bigger than Nashville, has way more to do, has a much bigger economy, many more hotels & restaurants, mass transit, and bigger/better Airport. Nashville has a bunch of cheesy pop a Billy bars on Broadway. Hard pass.

History lesson.... it was not about the money!

1. Most SEC alums/fans do NOT live and or work in ATL.
2. ATL is very east of central for SEC territory. That was true even before Texass and OU joined.
3. It is irrelevant what the ACC does. Completely irrelevant. And some UGA fans wailing "we'll lose ATL to the ACC!" is really funny. ATL is not the center of the Universe or even the SEC footprint.
4. SEC needs to rotate the SECCG. Fairness is the issue.

With Bama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Auburn so close....Atlanta is not going anywhere my friend!

7 million people disagree with you. Atlanta is a great city if you like large cities. Of the top 10 biggest cites in America it has the most green space.

With younger family and friends in the ACC and SEC they are moving to ATL, CHAR, and NASH. While overall trends may support TX and FL, actual folks in the ACC and SEC matter more than national trends. B1G Yankees are starting to over run Charleston and Savannah or the kids would have settled there instead of Atlanta and Nashville.

Respectfully disagree.
Bama, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee are all within a 5 hour drive to Atlanta. Lot's of political pull and heavy alumni base of all schools in Atlanta.
Atlanta is a fantastic city and has a hell of a lot more to offer than the others. $5 MARTA ride from any area in the city puts you right at the Benz. Safe as in your mothers womb!

Game ain't moving, and Tennessee won't be playing in the SECCG any time soon.

This is categorically false. Downtown and midtown Atlanta look nothing like they did 10 years ago. Atlanta has one of the cleanest downtowns of any major city. Much cleaner than NY, Boston, SF, Dallas, Houston, or LA.
Nashville is basically Charlotte with fake honky Tonks. And their Central Business district has a higher crime rate than Atlanta.
