Why are there no neutral sites played in California?

It seems like an opportunity to get in and expose west coast kids to SEC football is being missed here. Neutral sites are inevitable, so playing in Cali seems like a good idea.

The turnout would be shite.

I will send a strongly worded email to the SEC Commish to have the annual UGA/UT game moved to san diego. I'll keep you updated.

Believe it or not, CFB isn't as popular outside the SE. Because of this, it would be better to play marquee games where the majority of CFB fans live.

Two big reasons, off the top of my head:
(a) For any SEC team playing a west coast team, it hardly seems like any California site could be considered neutral.
(b) The left coast is an expensive as heck trip for one game/poor ROI

what stadium?
All I can think of as a stadium that isn't used by a college team to be a neutral site is the 49ers in Santa Clara.
The other stadiums in Cali are already used for Bowl Games or shitty pro stadiums (Currently where the Chargers and Raiders play)

Because getting a passport is a hassle.

Have you ever seen what the crowd looks like at the PAC 12 title game? If they can't get 40,000 fans to watch the two best teams in the West square off, how are they going to get anymore than that with lesser teams?

In what stadium? All the Stadiums there suck. Even the new 49ers one does. Do you really want to play a neutral site game in Oakland?

Because people in California would not care about an SEC team playing there unless it's verse their school. Which is basically a home game. Sure you may get a little exposure to the kids, but with technology it's not like the kids in California struggle to get information about SEC schools.

I can see a neutral site game played in the new LA stadium or in the new Las Vegas stadium when built.
I do not see it being an SEC match-up, as there have only been a handful of games where the SEC travels west of the Central Time zone in the last decade.
