Location is the best. The Dome itself is terrible.



No, it isn't. It's better than the Superdome.

It needs to be moved to a more central location now that we've added Mizzou and TAMU.

Bryant-Denny Stadium is the only place it should be.

Or Legion Field, so our refs wouldn't have to travel so far.


Know it is tongue-in-cheek, but nevertheless hilarious.

If you move it out of Atlanta, you can never move it back.

I would love to see it in Nashville. I think most fans really have a good time when they're in town.

He's talking about distance traveled. Not how nice an airport is.

Atlanta is terribly inconvenient for the western (geographically) members


When the SEC Champ got an autobid to the Sugar Bowl, do you think that the sugar bowl should have been rotated since it's inconvenient for the SEC east teams?

11 of the 14 members are within 8 hours, and all 3 of the members not within 8 hours are relatively new members who understood they'd be on the frontier of the SEC.

Atlanta is building an incredible new stadium that will host Final Fours, National Championships and Super Bowls, not to mention the CFB HOF. The SEC Title game ain't moving.

the 4 below the line are really the only ones that it's kind of an issue for. LSU can't complain because the sugar bowl is in their backyard and they've won 2 nattys there the last 11 years. The other 3 teams will only go once in a blue moon any way so not sure why we're taking them into account.

Not to mention they knew what they were getting themselves into in terms of traveling. Especially A&M and Mizzou.
