Non-Conference Match-ups & Stadium Gimmicks...........

Looks like the Georgia Dome and Jerry World non-conference match-ups to open the season aren't enough for the money-grabbers anymore. Now, it looks like the new attention-grabbing gimmick trend is to look for non-traditional places to play these opening weekend games........
Examples: Tennessee will play VA Tech at Nascar track Bristol MOtor Speedway........LSU and Wisconsin will play at Lambeau Field..........Penn State and Central Florida playing in Ireland...........etc.
I take this as a bad sign as to where college football is headed, but Whatever.
Does this type of thing do anything for you?
Is there any non-traditional place you'd like to see UGA play one day?

I don't mind the games in the GA Dome or in Dallas, but I would like to limit the neutral site games

UGA vs Ga Tech in Piedmont Park would be cool

New Braves Stadium........2017.......UGA vs Georgia Tech
Bet somebody is already begging for this one behind the scenes........

Yes.
In a stadium constructed directly straddling the GA/FL state line. Our fans sit in Georgia and their fans sit in Florida. You could still have it in the far east so people are still just a few miles from the beach, st. simons, Jekyll, etc. Put it somewhere near I95 I suppose.

It's my dream.

That Bristol idea is stupid too. idk where the graphic is but the field is gonna be far as shite for a majority of the fans. The sightlines are gonna be miserable.
But, hey, they'll have the largest attendance in a football game which I guess is the gimmick they are aiming for. Personally if UGA did that I'd be pissed and I wouldn't waste a dollar. That shite would be impossible to see and I can barely see shite now anyway.

Idea for when the Play-off Zombies finally achieve their dream of getting a 16-Team college football play-off................
-Hold the first round of zombie play-offs at Talladega Superspeedway! You could easily build 8 football stadiums inside the infield.
-Then..........you could play all 8 games SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!! (Tickets would cost $10,000 dollars a piece and you get a souvenir flat-bill!)
-Yes! It would be like a gigantic outdoor Buffalo WIld WIngs set-up!.........
-S.i.y.g.'e.

i though the navy/Nd game in Ireland was pretty cool

How bout this..
The setting is Talladega Superspeedway. One one side of the infield is bama/auburn. On the other end is uga/tech. In the middle, you have both a kid rock concert and a WWE money in the bank ladder match. You also have a race going on at the same time.
Ticket prices would be astronomical.

Mike Slive needs to build a football field on top of one so the SEC Championship Game can be played at sea..... near a different Caribbean island every year!!!................Must keep up with the arms race!!! NEvermind that you're killing the game in the process!!!!!!!

LSU/Wisc in Lambeau is a good idea actually. I think it would be cool to see Wisconsin host a game at Lambeau once every 4-5 years. It would have to be a big name opponent to make it work.

In general I'm against the neutral site games. They feel sterile and lack the intensity of being on campus. I'd much rather do a home and home with Clemson/UNC/Texas/etc. on the respective campuses instead of some NFL stadium.

And we can all bring our guns and settle this shite once and for all.

Recently we were in talks with a home and home with Army and we would have played the game there at Yankee Stadium. I would have loved that game.

That would've been awesome. Lambeau would be bad arse too.

Wait... really? That is actually pretty fricking awesome. You have a link on that?
Also, I'll say this about the Ireland game. I wouldn't want it but they have at least some precedent with that with the games in Mexico and Cuba way back when.

Yeah, I think it's gonna be a disaster.

I don't know if there was any public knowledge of this but I will see if I can find anything.
