STL had the weird busses, if you were heading west I seemed to get routed through there all the time. It was like going to Durham and I kept getting routed through Pittsburgh I think.

What logistics NO can’t handle.
If you are driving I might agree but flying in is a pain in the backside. ATL is a hub more than a destination so you get places faster. It is like living in Miami if you want to get on a cruise ship. Have several relatives living in ATL and tho I do not fly much anymore unless it is private, they fly all the time due to work. Part of the reason they live in ATL now (did not want to work in NYC or CHI) is the airport.

As you get older this is really important
Also as you get older speed and strength are issues you no longer have.
Old age is not for sissies, but you do have to plan more.

The train in DFW takes longer than walking. And as a visitor you aren’t driving right up to the gate. You’re paying a toll, riding down a 5 mile parkway to get dropped off in a dungeon under the airport with storm sewer dripping in your head and I’m limited to one crappy Tex Mex joint or a Dickeys. The point of this is the ease of the traveler not the the local. Atlanta has like 30 security gates. It’s taken me no longer than 20 mins from the curb outside to sitting beside my gate in prob 10 years. And some people traveling have kids and they don’t want to have to walk 200 yards from the gate to a bathroom. Dallas does love discombobulated sprawl.

No, it shouldn't. Atlanta is perfect because it's more or less the geographic center of the conference
no the frick it's not
be delusional about football all you want but this is math and geography and that's a stupid fricking comment

These airports arguments are stupid. I have flown in, out and laid over at ATL, DFW, and Houston hundreds of times. They are all identical. Infrastructures are the same, food and bathroom options are the same, security lines are the same, clubs/lounges are the same, parking is the same. Seriously, the only difference between the three are their flagship airlines: Delta, American and United respectively.
If you want to talk airports, New Orleans is really the easiest to get in and out of because it's not a real hub like the others discussed.
Still, airports are a stupid argument for where to have or not have a CFB game.

None of you LSU baws answered the question of rotating the Sugar Bowl, if we are rotating the CCG then only fair to rotate the Sugar Bowl. And the SEC has the main tie in so if the Sugar Bowl Powers that be don't like it then the SEC can just start their own bowl and tell the Sugar Bowl people to kick rocks.
Lets rotate everything just so it is fair to everyone.
ETA: yeah sure. Let's rotate the Peach Bowl too. And the Orange Bowl. Oh and the Rose Bowl.

This is seriously the dumbest take of them all.
No, it's the smartest take.
MBS isn't going to sign an "every once in a while" contract with the SEC to host the CG while it rotates around. The ACC would absolutely snap up the every-year contract with MBS. You have to remember Atlanta is a hub, a melting pot, of fanbases, including ACC fans. Tobacco Road and Charlotte means dick to the ACC. They'd sign up for ATL in a heartbeat for their annual CG.

You mean the DFW airport that requires you get on the road to go from terminal to terminal. That pod system is the dumbest and poorest designed airport outside of LAX. Or walk a 1/4 mile from gate to gate or to find a restaurant/bar?
ATL you go to one location to check in, you leave from one location, you don’t have to know your concourse before you arrive,
False. There's a sky train that connects all the terminals, just like ATLs train connects the Concourses. And who doesn't know their departing gate info before they arrive? Airline apps have live updates of all your flight info at the touch of a button.
I'll take 3 seconds to check my phone, for the convenience of waking into the airport right by my gate, with a short easy security line, 1000 times out of 1000, over the "convenience" of being funneled into one long arse security checkpoint with 10,000 other passengers.
And I don't care about food options. I don't eat in airports unless absolutely necessary. And if I'm there long enough for that, I'll be chillin in a lounge.
Wow, we've gone from, "my team is better than your team" to, "my airport is better than your airport".

Um, yes...yes they would if it came down to it. And WGAF if the ACC wants to rotate into Atlanta too on the years SEC is not there? The only people it could adversely affect us UGA fans and maybe Bama.

Just stick it in Nashville. It's centrally located and big enough to handle the fans.

Imagine you are MBS.
Two offers on the table.
Offer 1:
We want to rent your building at market rate on a specific day of the year, every 3 or 5 years.
Offer 2:
We want to rent your building at market rate on a specific day of the year, every year for the next ten years.
Which offer is being accepted, signed, sealed, and delivered?

Aren’t most of the Championship games rotated and have sparse attendance while the SECC isn’t and is well attended?

I agree. Nashville is where it’s at these days and huge airport expansion and new stadium is in the works.
