I don’t hate the idea. Getting it out of Atlanta would be nice.

Atlanta is a shite hole. Stadium is incredible.

Solution: We take the stadium and we push it somewhere else.

I'd prefer Buford if we're gonna go that route. At least LSU has pulled some good players from there in recent history.

Sorry ATL lost the little luster it has. Nashville, Houston, & Arlington are the best options.


Well, we rule this conference, and we have decided it will be in Atlanta

So, it'll be in Atlanta

Yet nola has hosted more Superbowls and big-time sporting events than Atlanta has and the only other city that is up there in Superbowls is miami...New Orleans is the mecca of big-time championship events in this country...like Vegas is for boxing.

LOL

In an 8 year span Atlanta will have hosted
- Super Bowl
- NFC Championship Game
- Tour Championship/FedEx Cup Finale
- MLB All Star Game
- MLB Baseball Playoffs (multiple times)
- NBA Eastern Conference Finals
- National Title Game
- Final Four (2x with the 2nd cancelled)
- CFB Playoffs (2x)
- SEC Championship Games
- ACC Basketball Tournament
- SEC Basketball Tournament
- MLS All Star Game
- MLS Cup
- CONCACAF Champions League
- CONCACAF Gold Cup

We've hosted an Olympics and will be a main host for the 2026 World Cup along with Dallas.

New Orleans, on the other hand, just lost a AAA team to some city in Iowa. World class.

Problem with New Orleans it is too far away from most places and I think Atlanta is still the best spot or another one that is reasonable is Nashville.

Nashville has more to offer than honky-tonks and country, bro.



Such as? The Opry Mills Mall? Pedal taverns?

Every decent-sized city in the South had good hotels and restaurants. Nashville has absolutely zero to offer other than honky tonks and country music.

I'd prefer not getting murdered outside of the stadium. What good is how good the stadium is when there are riots outside?

No thanks. Times are different. Screw Atlanta.
