Can we expect some hotels to open up around the Georgia Dome as teams are eliminated from the Championship Game? Or are they just full of Bama folks?



Those are all snapped up by Bama fans by now. Your best bet is to check and see if there are any homes in Bankhead on airbnb that you can rent out for the weekend. Pittsburgh or Mechanicsville would work too.

You'll find nothing around the Dome. I was able to reserve my rooms at the Omni for the Bama-VaTech game last year during the 20122 SECCG and I went ahead and booked the same rooms for the 2013 SECCG as well.

Look North, around Chamblee/Dunwoody/Doraville area, you'll find something up there. If you choose to brave the Marta trains, you won't have to take a car down to the Dome and you'll have about a 30 minute trip down to the Dome before game time. I hear it's pure HELL trying to fight hoards of folks on the Marta post-game though.

This kinda thing is probably going to be the biggest issue for our fanbase *if* we were to make it there. *Nobody* in our camp expected to be there, so none of us have planned for it, whereas Bama types justifiably plan for at least the possibility on the regular. We also have no idea where we'd be going, what the places to stay are, what the routine is etc. And, for Mizzou fans who don't have a ton of money to spend on two separate flights in the Holiday season, it might come down to deciding between spending money to travel and see us get prison raped by Bama or spending the money on a later flight to some potentially really good bowl game, be it Sugar or Cotton or Capitol One or Chick-fil-a or whatever it is.
