Let's be honest, its time to rotate championship game beyond Atlanta

The conference has outgrown using the Georgia Dome as a single location.
You now have 3 teams west of the Mississippi River in your conference. You've had Yankees in your championship game for 2 straight years, and who knows when, if ever, that streak will end.
The ATL is just not the right permanent venue anymore.
Time so start thinking Nashville, N'awlins, Houston, etc.
I know there's some degree of tradition associated with playing it in the ATL. But when you add expansion teams, by definition they don't give a frick about tradition cuz they weren't part of it. You wanted to cover a larger geographic area. You do now. Gotta take advantage of that. Move that shite around, SEC. Your heart will say no. But use your head. You know what to do.

A permanent championship game in Atlanta sucks. It's incredibly illogical. The SEC asked for this when they added Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas A&M. The game must rotate.

I get the sentiment. The Big Eight basketball tournament was always right in our backyard in Kansas City, Missouri when I was growing up just like the SEC title game is right in your backyard. We loved it. We won more tourneys there than any other league team as a result.
But when the league expanded to add four Texas teams and become the Big 12, it was time to rotate that shite. They played it in Dallas some, in OKC some. It wasn't the same, wasn't traditional, but it was fair, and the expansion Texas teams gave nary a flying frick about Big Eight tradition.
It's time for the SEC to act like the larger conference it is. Useless traditions cannot be clung to at the expense of the almighty dollar. Rotate that shite. Like Quaker Oats, its the right thing to do.

Atl is where it is and where it will stay

its not going anywhere. You'd better get used to it.

Agreed. Move it back to Legion Field.

I'd be fine with Nashville
New Orleans is the best city in America for a sporting event so yes.
Houston is completely outside the SEC. It's gotta be at least somewhat centrally located. Check the map.

I hear it's available again

Nashville would be best of the 3 cities you mentioned.

Atlanta does a great job.
The only other place they should/would ever have it is New Orleans.

This. Atlanta is the SEC. frick all that other nonsense.

ATL is centrally located with a huge airport. Sucks it's so far from CoMo, Fayetteville, BR, and CS but it makes sense for it to be there. Although New Orleans would probably be a much better fan experience, it'll never happen.

No, Stfu and stop bitching.

If the SEC rotated the game, then the ACC would try to weasel their way into Atl.

Go back to the Big12. You've been here 3 seasons and you think you can make suggestions to accommodate to the pledge?
