SEC needs to start rotating SEC Championship game to ~4 locations instead of just Atlanta

If SEC wants to be fair, it's not right to play 45 minutes from UGA campus every year because it is an unfair advantage. Atlanta just isn't that interesting comparing to the other 3 cities I named as well. I guarantee this would be perceived better by people than current operations.
Cities to host:
New Orleans
Atlanta
Nashville
Houston
In order, for backups (To you geniuses saying below cities are terrible, how about you make a better suggestion?... Crickets):
Dallas (obviously great, left out bc further west than Houston)
Birmingham
Shreveport
Memphis
Little Rock
Mobile
Jackson
Some of the above cities are college stadiums so not sure that's allowed.
The SEC should move the games, and it's office to somewhere more centrally population located. Bama for HQ and Atlanta for CG are outside the population center. It's highly likely the new population center is somewhere around Shreveport I'd bet.
Truth be told if it's in a 4 city rotation, Atlanta shouldn't be allowed to have a championship game until those other 3 cities have all caught up to it in terms of game played there. The game has been in Atlanta for 30 years right? So allow Houston, Nashville, New Orleans to play it 30 times to catch up, then Atlanta can get back in the rotation. That's 90 years from now that those 3 other cities get 30 games. Only fair.

Where the fug you gonna these games at at these locations?
The Sec needs a minimum of 75K seats to host and none of these have that.
I'm all for getting it out of Atlanta due to the UGA campus being next door but I'll be damned if I want to be in Arkansas in December outside.

Nope. It’s in Atlanta to stay.

You got a better list of backups in the deep South? Hence why I put them in the reserve list

play 45 minutes from UGA campus
1:15 min if we are being factual.
1:30 from AU
3:00 AL, TN, USCe

No dice. Dunno if you heard, but if the SEC doesn’t lock down Atlanta in perpetuity, the soon to be defunct, yet almighty ACC is gonna snatch it up and never give it back.
Plus, apparently no other city in the south has airports, restaurants, or even paved roads.

The primary participants in this game have been:
Bama
UF
UGA
LSU
UT
AU
It’s the most “central” location for the teams that matter..

I think the game has to be played in a dome.
Now with the addition of TX and OU, I think it is perfectly reasonable to consider a rotation schedule.
1. Atlanta
2. New Orleans
3. Dallas
All 3 locations cover each region of the conference and will make the game more accessible to those in the west. FYI, I live in Atlanta so it’s better for me personally to stay in Atlanta, but I just think other regions deserve a game too.

Well if this is the 30th time it's been posted, then there's probably some validity for it at least should happen

No thanks. I value my life over a football game.
I say this as a lifelong Saints fan who has held season tickets to their games for multiple seasons.

It didn't seem to be unfair until UGA started winning national championships

After 31 years, I wonder why this is becoming an issue now.

Thank you for finally saying what no one else has ever said here before!

Atlanta is a shithole but to be fair, so are the other cities you listed.
And Nashville's outdoor stadium is a terrible place to play in December.

Is there a major city within the SEC's footprint that isn't?
