I think they should just play it at Legion Field

I think it will stay in Atlanta unless the dome starts asking too high a rental price.

I bet they rotate it between Atlanta, New Orleans, and Dallas. If they throw Nashville in there, then there would essentially be one SECCG location per pod.

It should rotate between the Georgia Dome and Super Dome. Both are NFL venues and can host a great game.

Buddy, as much as I'd like the SECCG to be under an hour away from where I live, I don't think that structure is safe enough to hold the crowd.

Should be rotated for sure


Besides the fact that New Orleans is disgusting, this would be a good idea

I...dont'...think...so.

The city that hosts the Sugar Bowl, several NCGs, and countless SBs is unfit for the SECCG? I don't think so. There's a reason why New Orleans has hosted more SBs than Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston combined. New Orleans is a premier host city.

Hell,
Add Jerrah World to the rotation. The Big 12 isn't going to be using it.

DFW-NOLA-ATL

Keep it in Atlanta. The capital of southern football.

I think so too. Jerry's World has been a huge proponent of the SEC with TAMU and Arkansas every year and has hosted a lot of BAMA's neutral site games. I've been and I'd go again.

With UTa and OU, now the geographic center of the conference has shifted west.
Just my two cents.
Technically, Memphis area is most centrally located, but there is no decent stadium there.


There is no decent stadium in New Orleans either ..

Sec offices should move out of Alabama too. SEC championship game should rotate between a dew sites:
Atlanta
Nola
Nashville
Houston (maybe)

Move the game to Nashville when their new 4 billion dollar NFL stadium is complete in 2030.


Damnit.
The one they have now was built in 2000.
Guess the shelf life of stadiums ain't what they used to be.

Auburns stadium reminds me of Legion. Old and boring

Exactly. There is no doubt that New Orleans has had some problems in recent years, but it is still on top of its game when it comes to hosting big events.

My only issue with them hosting is they already have the Sugar Bowl, which since the CFP, gets the loser of the SECCG on average.

As your newest member I'd suggest a rotation between Mercedes-Benz Stadium and AT&T Stadium for modern feature rich viewing environment for the fans.

Does this mean BAMA has to stop paying property tax on Tiger Stadium too?

You could do a rotation between Nashville, Atlanta, NOLA, Birmingham, and Tampa Bay
