re: The SEC Title Game and Venues: Thoughts About Rotating

Ain't gonna happen. The only way I see the game moving would be on a rotation basis. It won't move permanently from Atlanta to Birmingham.

ETA: Besides, the game has a bowl-like feeling to it. There is nothing special about the atmosphere in Birmingham. Do not want.

I agree. Birmingham screwed the pooch when they let Legion Field fall apart and with all the slums around it.

If Birmingham had built a good domed stadium and bought out the slums to put up bars and good restaurants and boutiques around the stadium, the game probably would have stayed there.

The last time I visited Legion Field I was with my teenage daughter. It was dark and scary and too dangerous for two females to be walking around in that neighborhood. I swore I would never go back.
