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.
I haven't been to NOLA since the Harbaugh brothers Superbowl, so I can't speak on the situation there. I do know it has, or had, a reputation as a tourist hotspot.
Jacksonville crime is pretty rough. Gang wars are escalating. Just saying, if a case against NOLA is high crime and danger, a similar case can be made against Jacksonville as well.

Atlanta is central to the teams that actually go to the SEC Championship

The case against New Orleans is that in most years, the loser of the SEC Championship will be right back there in a month for the Sugar Bowl and in other years, the champion will be there in a month.

Had. It's gone downhill rather rapidly in the past few years.

What about New Orleans?
Maybe when the Superdome gets condemned and they build a 21st century facility.

New Orleans is a third world shithole.
If we're going to rotate, give me some combination of Nashville, Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami.
Spread the game out around the SEC, and gives fans decent cities to travel to.

Miami is ACC.
Plus outside of the beach areas, not that nice.
The Hard Rock stadium is nowhere near any place you'd want to visit.

Emm, most major metro areas have. Nola isn’t alone in its crime surge.

Killed , New Orleans,?, you can get killed walking your doggie!

Best looking stadium east of the continental divide

Let me explain this to you battleship-playing mongoloids for the 15th time...
As soon as the SEC drops their annual contract with MBS for the annual championship game, the ACC will sign the dotted line and nobody will ever play in ATL again outside of the peach bowl or kickoff classic.
ATL has everything you want- a hodgepodge of fans, interstate matrix leading everywhere, an airport with daily direct nonstop flights from pretty much anywhere, tons of hotel and hospitality inventory for any event large or small, and a modern first class venue.

You can’t reason with jealous Louisianans. They hate Atlanta because of that junkyard known as New Orleans.
Posted on 1/6/22 at 5:09 pm to Night Vision
What they have in ATL is guaranteed sell out and driving proximity to most of the schools.

Same question ought to be asked re: all sports.
This need to accommodate folks who are only willing to drive is archaic and partisan.
Book a flight, for Pete’s sake.

Don't care. That's what Uber is for. The game is 4-5 hours. I'll take an uber back and forth when I need to, and spend the rest of my long weekend in a resort hotel on the beach drinking $18 mojitos and admiring Cuban girls in skimpy bikinis.
Who gives a frick if the ACC takes Atlanta? They can have it of they want it that badly.

It's not about the ACC taking Atlanta. It's about the SEC not having a footprint in Miami. Miami is not SEC country.

Should rotate to the teams home stadiums that are playing, Bama and then whatever east team is playing.

Nashville is a good central location, large enough to accommodate thehoopla that surrounds the event, a facility satisfactory for the game, and the city has an excellent reputation with tourists from what I've heard.
