Have you actually watched a game in the Rose Bowl? The seating sucks. The only thing the Rose Bowl has going for it is the scenic mountains in the background. The stadium, itself, is old and very uncomfortable.
Everyone in LA and Pasadena is scattered all over the place and there is no central place for fans to congregate.
Traffic around there is absolute arse too. It's a pretty miserable experience.
Hopefully Nashville can get a bigger bowl when they get their dome. That's always a fun environment. Sugar would be my choice though.

Any person here, that has spent any time on OT, knows what a shithole NOLA is.
Now you want us to PAY to be in a shithole?
Final two rounds in bowls. Rest home games.
Championship games become 2 vs 3 playoff. Conf champ gets bye then plays at home.

New Orleans for the Sugar is awesome. It's a better atmosphere for a big football game than Pasadena, Miami, Arlington or ATL. And, yes I have been to all those sites for games multiple times.

Atlanta doesn't even belong in the same sentence with these other excellent locations.
The SEC Championship game needs to be in the Super Dome, or at the very least rotated and moved out of Atlanta permanently. Nothing unique or noteworthy about that shite hole.

I've not done Arlington, but living near ATL and spending a ton of time there, agreed, it's just not a great experience for football. I love the new ballpark, but baseball experience is vastly different than going party for a bowl/SEC champ game.
SEC Champ definitely needs to go on rotation and get out of there every year.

The Super Dome is the best place to host big events. The NFL agrees, New Orleans will host the Super Bowl for the 11th time this February. The atmosphere is great in and outside the Dome and it's close to all the tourist attractions in the city

Fortunately UK will never have to worry about making the Sugar Bowl.

New Orleans is the best city to host bigtime sporting events. Which is why they need to play the sec championship there and alternate between atl and nola. I think it will happen fairly soon.

It’s amazing they got it back to functioning after Katrina. I thought that place would have to be burned down.

Indoor football sucks, period. It's like the NFL bullshite. College football teams play outdoors.

There’s nothing wrong with it and they literally just renovated the whole thing
Lipstick on a pig and the only way to "completely renovate" a domed stadium is to tear it down.
There's a reason almost every domed stadiums from the 70's,80's and 90's aren't around.

If it ever moves, there will be no back and forth or rotating. These things are signed as 10 year contracts. I won't argue against NOLA being a fun place for a short trip to party, eat, gamble, attend the game. However, once the SEC gives up the MBS for their annual game, the ACC will lock it up for their championship and ditch Charlotte.
No doubt ATL is the bigger city with bigger airport and more lodging, built for large crowds to show up from out of town on a weekly basis for all sorts of international big events, but it's not nearly as "fun" of a place to visit as NOLA. But there's also not the variety of SEC fans around NOLA as you have around ATL. Examples- there's more LSU fans in Atlanta than UGA fans in the whole state of LA. There's more Florida, Bama, Auburn, Tennessee fans living around ATL than in the whole state of LA. Atlanta just has so many more people/variety of SEC fans that it makes sense to have it there.

I can't quite pinpoint it, but there is something weird and old about you.

Insignificant and meaningless.

That only makes sense if you expect only the fans that live in the city to go to the SECC game.

With the history (at least the history that a couple of teams like Alabama and Louisiana State have) the Sugar Bowl is absolutely iconic. Best bowl game hands down.
I see that Bama's into mixing & matching crack recipes now. Wow.
Nothing beats The Rose Bowl Game (AlaBubba's arse getting whipped by a cheatin' Michigan team still carries an embarrassing scar for the Tide fans, we see).
AlaBubba fans being sent to Tampa was just a consolation of grace & mercy in order to give you guys a place in the post-season since trailers and fifth-wheel latrines pulled by pickups are prohibited everywhere else.
AS FOR NEW ORLEANS...........

I was in NOLA for the wknd recently and was pleasantly surprised at how clean and orderly it was. Even in the Quarter. Saw very few homeless and panhandlers on Canal. Maybe it's a sign the apocalypse is near.

Pasadena is pretty separated from LA. It’s still pretty nice and suburban. The general demographics of LA doesn’t really apply to Pasadena
