When was the last time a team that played in the SECCG played in the Sugar? It's been awhile if memory serves

The SEC doesn't want to cede Atlanta to the ACC. As soon as the SEC moved its title game the ACC would move in.
I agree. Downtown ATL sucks. NOLA would be much better, but I hate the idea of allowing the ACC to have ATL. Its too important of a city.
To boot, the SEC is really building a triangle of championship games. ATL - football B'ham/Hoover - baseball and soon to be Nashville - Bball.
The geographic centers makes sense.

Yeah, let's forget about the previous 9 Super Bowls that the city hosted because someone tripped on a power cord.
But yeah, New Orleans has no idea how to host a big event. Take your ignorance back to Bumfrick, Texas... I mean... College Station.

yes...it was such a big deal they continued to talk about it for a whole 2 days afterwards.
did you know that Chicago nearly burned to ground once. WHY DO THEY KEEP HAVING SPORTING EVENTS THERE?!?! THAT'S CRAZY!!

1. Because the SEC offices are in Hoover.
2. It keeps Rantards in a state of dull-whine.

In all sreiousness, probably bec New Orleans is a shite hole that is good for a party and thats about it.
Its not family friendly and the infrastructure is not as good as Atlanta's(which says alot bec Atl infrastructure sucks)

Because the sec's premier bowl game is there already.
quote:I think they care less about this than they might give lip service to.
And they like hosting it in a somewhat neutral central location.

Because the SEC is king when it comes to football in the south, and Atlanta is king when it comes to cities in the south. There is a reason the ACC has been relegated to Jacksonville and Charlotte.

Hell I think the Georgia Dome had a twister hit it, and nothing but a few outside panels blew off.
I could be wrong.

i just remembered why Auburn fans love Atlanta so much

I know it was a fluke occurrence, but it's pretty embarrassing for the city and stadium when it's the biggest sports event in the world.
Also, it completely killed Baltimores momentum and people would make a much bigger deal if SF had come back after that 30 minute delay.

I'm just saying let's hold judgment on Superbowl venues until we see what happens at next year's Superbowl in New York/New Jersey.
