Every year fans of programs from poverty states from out west complain about the location.
Why would you move it though?
It’s the nicest stadium that’s most convenient to access from Athens and Tuscaloosa.

Move it to Nashville once that stadium is complete.

Considering it’s the same two teams every year I’d say it’s pretty central

May end up doing away with if it doesn’t benefit the sec playoff chances. Teams who are there are already in and really don’t want the game.

its should obviosuly rotate Dallas / Atlanta / New Orleans if it was going to stay, but I think its going away after 2031 or possibly sooner

It needs to be in a rotation. Pretty dumb having it in the same city every year.

Atlanta is the worst big game environment in the country, and it’s not even close. I’d rather play it in fricking Birmingham.

The first few were played in Birmingham. It was moved for a reason.

No reason to move it to Dallas. The teams that far out west won't be in the championship game consistently enough to host it there.

The stadium in New Orleans doesn't have enough amenities inside the stadium for today's fan experience.

The game will rotate between Nashville and Atlanta. Nashville should be the permanent home. It's the most central location for the league. Plus the entertainment options with less crime than a city like New Orleans.

No, it obviously shouldn't.

Yeah. It was moved because a brand new stadium had just opened 2 hours away.

Amazing how the Braves created one of the best game day environments in the country and the Falcons have the worst.

Once a non-big 6 team wins the SECCG, then we can discuss moving it out of Atlanta.

This game shouldn’t exist anymore. It feels like a punishment for the participants and winning it just doesn’t have the same appeal anymore. I’d rather just split a title after the regular season.

Why? Because it isn't big enough to accommodate Bevo.

You sorta shite your pants with that one.

Because Atlanta is a shithole city with no spirit or central location.

Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, Tampa should all be in rotation…
