The only people that care are Alabama/Auburn fans because it's close and they don't have a real city in their state. Georgia fans don't care because they never get to play in it anyways.

Let's be honest, you're not welcome here.

The Georgia Dome/New Stadium is the perfect because it is right next to the World Congress Center, where several things such as SEC Fanfare are held. The Convention Center in Nashville is across the river (also outdoor stadium and they aren't risking that). The convention center in New Orleans is also several blocks away plus the champion is technically slotted to go there for the bowl game.
It's not moving. Better get use to it. Or Mizzou and A&M (and Arkansas too) can go back to the Big 12.

I think it's a matter of convenience now, mostly. They have the contract, a reliable (and well-maintained) venue, and it's pretty easy for most of the fanbases of the traditional powers -- UT, UGA, UF, AU, UA (I would add LSU, but they weren't exactly a power when the game moved permanently to Atlanta) -- to reach with an easy drive.
It would be nice to see the game rotate to places like Nashville or New Orleans, though. Houston, on the other hand, seems a bit too far away from every team except TAMU. I accept TAMU as a legitimate SEC program. I will never accept Texas as a legitimate SEC state, however.
Also, I thought it was four teams west of the Mississippi.
I say "Nawlins" and I'm from the Delta region, Vicksburg to be precise.

It should be moved to a cool city like Nashville, Memphis, Jacksonville or that court that Michael Jordan was chained to on Moron Mountain.

Everyone is always wanting to change things. It's fine where it's at.

It shouldn't be moved just to satisfy the newer members (who've yet to bring jack and shite to the conference in football anyhow).

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.
No

I'd only be bitching if Georgia were there every year because it's like a home game for them. Then again, Mark Richt always chokes when he's there for some reason, anyway.

What exactly would be the big deal with the ACC having a game in ATL?
Oh... And it's pretty obvious why certain posters don't like the mention of Houston.

SEC already owns the footprints of New Orleans and Nashville.
Houston and Saint Louis are at the fringe and not close to the center,
Georgia, and Atlanta is a key geographic and recruiting advantage for the SEC so keeping the SEC CCG there effectively shuts the ACC out of ATL and the state of Georgia. The SEC CCG @ 4pm knocks the ACC out of ATL for their game @ 8pm. If the SEC "gave up" ATL for another venue the ACC would swoop in at put their CCG in the void.
Only idiots and homers for singular teams don't seem to understand this simple concept.

It's about expanding the footprint.
And the game should rotate. New Orleans, Dallas, Nashville, St. Louis, etc.
