The best and most central place would be Birmingham, Alabama, when they build a covered stadium.
Ain't gonna happen. The only way I see the game moving would be on a rotation basis. It won't move permanently from Atlanta to Birmingham.
ETA: Besides, the game has a bowl-like feeling to it. There is nothing special about the atmosphere in Birmingham. Do not want.

The game makes sense in Atlanta. If the game leaves they will fill the void with the ACC and who knows if we can get it back.

I agree. Birmingham screwed the pooch when they let Legion Field fall apart and with all the slums around it.
If Birmingham had built a good domed stadium and bought out the slums to put up bars and good restaurants and boutiques around the stadium, the game probably would have stayed there.
The last time I visited Legion Field I was with my teenage daughter. It was dark and scary and too dangerous for two females to be walking around in that neighborhood. I swore I would never go back.
