By all means start rotating the Championship. The ACC would love to move in and have our Championship in the new Dome. Great idea.

Considering the next most logical spot is New Orleans, and most LSU fans agree with Atlanta, should tell you something.

This.

If you don't like the ATL location, then by all means, head back to the Big 12.

ATL is the best location. That being said, it will be overkill in years where the semifinal game is there also, and the SEC champ ends up having to play there twice.

Dallas should never and will never be given the SECCG. There isn't a worse place in the footprint aside from Legion.

Excuse me if I'm wrong but didn't the SEC just sign with Atlanta for the next 12 years? If so, this thread is a little late don't you think? Start it up again in 10 years or so and maybe it won't be totallt worthless.

Get the frick over it. You don't just get to walk into a conference and start demanding we change things to better fit you in year 3.

Besides, it's not like it's going to be much of a problem for you in the future with Florida and Tennessee back on the rise. Between them and Georgia, Mizzou will likely never sniff the SECCG again after these last two fluke years.

Now we don't have to lie about UT being back. The rest I agree.

Yeah, it's a shame your beloved Big 6 glass palace is cracking and crumbling around you.

Naturally Missouri winning in the SEC will do nothing to increase the profile of the recruits WE pull.

Relax and surrender to life in the West getting your asses eaten out by Bama, LSU, A&M and the others.

No it shouldn't. Sorry it's not convenient for you. No, nevermind, I'm not sorry.

Now that the college football hall of fame is in Atlanta it is also a plus for having game there. All in All Atlanta is as close to in the middle for well over 1/2 the schools in the SEC (Bama, Auburn, Flordia, Tenn, Vandy, KY, SC,UGA, Miss St etc.) as you can get. Ga Dome is still a nice place to play and the area is great for fans. Plenty of parking, tailgating, restraunts, bars, hotels, places to have the fan experience.

Obviously it's staying in Atl, but NOLA is 10x more fun for a big event than Atl.

I agree in that I'd rather go to hell than the ATL but there are some things to remember.

Approx 30,000 SECCG tix are like me, auto renewals. When we bought tix for the first one in 92 you were automatically guaranteed from then on if you bought from the SEC. LP in Nashville only seats 69K so there would less tix available to general public. Also, nobody including me wanted to sit outside at Legion in December and I sure as heck don't want to sit outside in Nashville in Dec. You need a stadium that seats at least 76K to keep things like they are.
No Houston. Not in the southeast. I know teams are outside the SEC now but we don't have to move events to those locations. At least keep our events in the SEC.
I say:
Atlanta
New Orleans
Orlando

Bottom line, it ain't going anywhere. B'ham and ATL are geographically centered and ATL runs the southeast anyway. It ain't going anywhere as long as we are alive I'm afraid.

We're petitioning to get that moved to a more centralized location: Branson.
