Moving media days here was a good start. The SEC is killing itself with these long term stadium and media contracts. It could be worse(ACC).

Yeah let’s move the SECCG to nearly the farthest west outpost on the edge the conference footprint instead of keeping it within manageable driving distance of 80 percent of the schools and their fans. Because Texas, or something.
I’m not opposed to a rotation of maybe three venues but permanent Dallas is no bueno. These Texas dildo fvkers are gonna try to fvk up the greatest conference in history, aren’t they?

Media days were held within a few miles of the SEC Offices in Birmingham for most of their existence. Atlanta 2 hours from Birmingham, maybe 2.5. Nashville is 3, Maybe 3.5. Dallas is 9.5 - 10. New Orleans is 6. SEC Media Days was held in Atlanta in 2017. There is a very obvious reason the SECCG is in Atlanta....its 2 hours from Birmingham and has the airport, the stadium and the hotels to handle an event that size. Nashville may host the game at some point but Nashville does not have the airport, is 3 hours from Birmingham, and certainly does not have the hotels (you can stay in a 4 star hotel in Manhattan for about the same money as a Motel 6 in Nashville).
Dallas has the airport(s) and the hotels...but is 9 hours from Birmingham. Ain't gonna happen, not anytime soon and certainly not permanently. Texas and OU fans are going to have to come to grips with the fact that SEC HQ is 54 miles from Bryant Denny Stadium. If there was an airport in Alabama and a real city with enough hotels the game would be in Alabama because everything in the SEC revolves around Tuscaloosa, not Austin, not Norman....the only reason the game is in Atlanta is because its almost as close as Tuscaloosa and can accomodate it.

Sorry, but when it comes to accommodations, attractions, and access (top 3 criteria they consider), Atlanta beats DFW all over the place.
It's going to remain in Atlanta for quite a looooong time.

Rotate the CG between JerryWorld, Superdome, ATL and new Nashville stadium. Make sure it isn't there the same year when a CFP championship or semifinal is scheduled for the location.

Both OU and aggy are closer to DFW than we are, and LSU, piggy and Mizzery will also have a shorter travel distance vs going to ATL. Of course we will still get 100% of the blame if it happens, and I'm ok with that. Lulz

College football will be dead in 8 years.

They should bring it to Hot Springs and hold it at Oaklawn Park. I’d bet the coaches would love it….

It should be moved around,

Might as well, playoffs going to kill attendance for this game. Why waste money on it, when you got playoff tickets to buy?

I thought the SECMD rotated yearly.

I always wanted them to do a year in ATL when the East is the home team and a year in NOLA when the West is the home team. Now that divisions are gone, it really doesn't matter where it is but Atlanta is terrible with traffic so wouldn't mind it being somewhere else.

The biggest issue with moving the SECCG from Atlanta was always the fact that as soon as Atlanta was available, the ACC would grab it and have their championship game there every year going forward.
With the ACC seeming to be about to fold, it's very possible that the SEC would be free to move the CCG around to various venues. In the past they never wanted to aid any other conference in recruiting the south east (which Atlanta is the capital of). But as long as the Big 10 isn't having their CCG in Atlanta, I'm not sure the SEC cares enough about the other conferences to worry about them.
