The ACC would 100% agree to do a rotation with us. It would be beneficial to both.
I could see that happening.
- The SEC rotates Dallas/Atlanta
- The ACC rotates Atlanta/Charlotte
Atlanta is fine with it because they have a game each year (though not stoked because the ACCCG sucks), the SEC has 2 mega-hosts who roll out the red carpet, and the ACC is just happy to get to sit at the big boy table.

how so? Atlanta is easier and cheaper to get to than Nashville for most people and has a much, much nicer (indoor) facility. Believe it or not, the Nashville airport is not large at all. You'd be spending more than double in airline costs to fly into Nashville as opposed to Atlanta. Nashville hotel prices are also through the roof and have been for years now. Atlanta doesn't have that problem. Tourists wanting to see Broadway isn't a good reason to move it to Nashville.

I agree, but what are they going to do about it. Tell us no and go with the ACC full time. That doesn't solve their problem.

You wanna play a night game in December in a outdoor stadium?

Nope, they'd accept it.
Of course the other thing that could happen is the B1G adds Georgia Tech and as part of it's attempt to gain foothold comes to Atlanta with a 1 every 3 year offer or something that Atlanta takes and tells the ACC to kick rocks.

A championship game the first Saturday in December needs to be indoors.

In a place where the average November low is 39 and the average December low is 35. This isn't Tampa, Miami or even New Orleans. It's Nashville. Your odds of a game played in 42 degree rain is pretty good.

If you think Jerry Jones aint in the ears of the SEC you are crazy. It will rotate. Dallas, Atalanta, NO, Etc.
Then it would have been in New Orleans by now. It never has been. That should tell you something.

Exactly. People who think that game will ever be played in Nashville haven't been seriously following SEC football very long.

It isn't going to New Orleans. If there is a switch, it will be a Dallas/Atlanta combination. Nobody wants fans and media members to have to be like "wait, where is the game this year?". If you have anything outside of a solid every other year rotation you get to that point. It won't happen.
If they do Dallas and Atlanta they play in 2 of the nicest stadiums in any sport in the world on the biggest stages, and with more teams in the Dallas sphere it actually makes some sense now. It would become the anchor of the Western SEC and the anchor of the Eastern SEC. It would make some sense.

You mean, other than the fact that the game could be played in freezing rain?

This is certainly true. Both are palaces.

Nashville doesn’t have an acceptable stadium. People need to wise up.

Nashville in December is retarded

No

SEC Championship will be moving to Dallas at least 1/2 the time. Once you get Texas in your conference, they dictate the rules.

It's strange to hear people from the South talk about non-coastal Southern cities the same way Northerners do. As if Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis, etc aren't cold in December. They aren't Green Bay or Chicago cold, but some people seem to think they are Miami or Orlando. You don't want to schedule a large, neutral, outdoor event in any of those 3 cities in December unless you have no other indoor option.
Just look at some of the awful conditions they've dealt with in years past in Charlotte for the ACCCG.

I doubt it'll move because the ACC will take its place if it did.

The very first 2 SECCG’s ever played was outdoors. It was cold as a witches tit in a brass bra for the very first one. Look the whole season in pretty much played outside including the last game of the reg season just the week before. Football is an outdoor sport. It’s not like it’s unheard of to play a late season game outside.
