They have a hang-over from last year. They have no confidence they can win this game. So they ain't buying in.

Playing in Dallas is starting to lose appeal I think. It's fine once, but we're all over Jerryworld, it's just a gigantic stadium at this point. Atlanta will be unique, but in time it'll be just another stadium in a big city too.
Atlanta at least has built itself around football and around that experience with the CFB Hall of Fame and all the festival stuff they do in Centennial. Dallas just seems large and, quite frankly, uninteresting to me as a fan. I'd jump at the chance to see a game in the old Cotton Bowl but don't have much interest in DFW otherwise.

Neutral site does seem to be unfair to the fans of both bases who attend games.
It is a shame these seem to be replacing the traditional, top notch OOC home and away series.

It's just the ADs trying to balance the books, unfortunately. I enjoyed the home and homes years ago with PSU, Oklahoma, etc., but those days are probably not coming back.
More money being made in CFB than ever before and we can't make quality two game series happen.

I hope Jerry World looks empty as hell on tv. I want it to embarrass Saban and the AD so they know to quit this shite. It's the same crap next year too. Back to Jerry World for USC (what could have been another awesome home and home). Oh and get excited Bama fans, we get to go back to Atlanta for the millionth time for FSU in 2017. Oh wait there's more...get out your credit cards and book the flights early for Louisville in 2018 to visit the pirate ship in Orlando. Seriously? Who in the hell wants to fly to Orlando to watch Bama play Louisville in a shitty NFL stadium?
Oh what a bunch of bullshite.
You aren't being robbed of anything. Neutral site games replace AWAY games, not home games. You would be traveling anyway if you were going to a game and if you don't want to travel to see those quality games because of their location - then you are just wanting to bitch.
Your upset because you would be traveling to Atlanta rather than Tallahassee? Really?
Because you want to go to Wisconsin rather than Dallas?
Atleast LA over Dallas makes a little since I guess, if LA is your scene. I've been to LA, and I don't see the draw. Maybe if it was Stanford that would be cool.
The only thing I'd like to see is a bigger variety of stadiums. But if these games have trouble selling out, that probably won't happen.

I live up here in State College and they still talk about how great it was to host Alabama.

That's funny coming from a Tennessee fan. Seeing as how Tennessee fans have become nearly extinct within their own state since the implosion of their program and have gone through: struggling to sell out Neyland, leaving by halftime when your team is getting blown out, and of course, letting opposing fans come in and factor in more crowd noise than your own.
Campaign to fill Neyland due to low attendance

What a bunch of whining
Bama plays Southern Cal next year at JerryWorld..
If you can't get excited for that turn in your fan card.

To be fair, most of those pictures were probably taken after Florida beat Tennessee for either the 5th, 4th, 3rd, or 2nd time in a row in Knoxville

Most LSU fans would totally agree on these games

I sincerely don't think this is the blow out people expect. Wisconsin returns a veteran team particularly on defense which will be our weakness. I'm not saying Bama doesn't win but I think it will be within the ten point spread. We are unsettled at qb and we start a new RT, LG, and RG. I expect a low scoring game. 21-10 or 21-13

And I was being fair by only showing those games. Jesus the 'Bama game in '08, '10, and '12 was much worse

Orlando has a shitty stadium they just renovated and is now NFL- esque.

My bad, for some reason I was thinking of Tampa. Still, same concept of a shitty neutral site that makes no sense. Just play a home and home with Louisville.
