Curious to see what all the fan bases think.

No, but I've always thought that having the football championship in Atlanta every year is not fair to the teams and fans in the far west. It should rotate with New Orleans every other year.

This question has been asked on here tons of times and every time it's some LSU fans want it moved to NO and pretty much everyone else wants it to stay in Atlanta.

It should be at the best venue possible.

If that's Atlanta,then so be it.

IMO it should always be played indoors.

Dallas(Arlington) is the only other facility that should be considered. But I dont see why that would make more sense than Atlanta other than a rotation situation

If there is going to be a rotation, why not include Dallas/Houston, NO, Atlanta, Jax/Tampa?

It’s more meaningful having it in the same place. Like Omaha with the CWS and Hoover with the SEC Tournament, it’s got a defined sense of place and achievement to get there that tracks across decades. Hoping the same will prove true for Nashville and the men’s basketball tournament

Stop asking this stupid question, they are not going to move it. It's very convenient for the conference to have the sec title there.

Atlanta is the best location. It’s annoying that UGA gets the de facto home game when they make it, but same would be true of LSU in New Orleans or UT in Nashville, UF in Jacksonville/Tampa, and so on.

It’s not worth risking Atlanta as a site, a central location and the hub of the southeast, by moving the game around and giving the ACC a chance to move in.

Atlanta is the cultural capital of the Southeast, and the only city in the Southeast (with the exception of Houston or Dallas, if you consider those Southeastern cities) with major national and international significance. Love the place or hate the place, that's the truth. Also, it has the widest diversity of SEC fans.

It is important for the Southeastern Conference to have their biggest game in its most important city.

Also, as others gave noted, it has the best facility this side of Dallas.

I say no for selfish reasons alone Alabama borders Georgia and is obviously convenient for Bama fans. I don’t care if UGA fans outnumber other fan bases at all the SEC championship events. It doesn’t seem to stop Kentucky fans from dominating the basketball tournament.

No. The SEC championship game being in one of the best NFL stadiums in the country makes a statement. The ACC would move in in a second.

The SEC already has the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Hopefully Keisha can get the riots under control by December. If not you can count on free entry into the College Football HOF.
