Surely Jawja would be for this.

Plenty of other NFL stadiums in the south.

Yeah, no team should have a semi home field advantage

Don’t really care where it’s played, but stupid to call it home field for UGA.

Atlanta is a melting pot of fans. Also, it’s fairly central and has the capability to hold fans with hotels and media events. Plus stuff to do around town.

I think it would be foolish to move it because of those reasonS, but if the rest of the SEC would rather see UGA play Bama every year in a different city, so be it.

It's more than a semi advantage and it's time to visit other places, WITH A DOME.

Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Jacksonville, Tampa...

We need to showcase our conference in some other cities and make the game a travel destination for the fans.

Leave it in Atlanta. It's not like playing in Atlanta has helped the Dawgs win.

If the SEC left Atlanta even on a rotation, the ACC would swipe that venue up.

So frick no.

There are whole lot more SEC East types in Atlanta than there are SEC West.

No to Dallas or Houston. I don’t want to have to ever go again to either place.

It's not like Ole Miss has to worry about going to Atlanta.

What about it?

I think most people like to go places where they have a substantial chance of returning home with their life and all of their belongings.

I think outta the 2 division winners if the highest ranked team is out of the West then it should be played somewhere like New Orleans, Birmingham, DFW, somewhere that kinda gives the West an advantage. If the East winner is higher ranked then keep it in ATL. It would make things more fun that way.

To heck with the South, put it in the Rocky Mountains.

I have no experience there. Educate me.

I know NOLA is bad and getting worse. I used to have a long-term lease down there and got out a few years ago, thankfully.
