Because it’s harder for some fanbases further away to travel to Atlanta than it is others. Rotating would be nice.

Believe me New Orleans has a lot of issues but somehow they still know how to put on large events
Once ou and Texas join I would rotate big events between Atlanta and Dallas

Atalanta airport is a shithole and has the most delays in the nation.

Move the damn meeting to Dallas or Nashvegas.

Only solution

It’s a shithole town.

Because it is in close proximity to Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Florida, Auburn and Alabama.

That's 5 of the BIG 6, so I'm afraid you will just have suck it up and come to Atlanta.

Geography? The schools listed above are pretty much within 200 miles of Atlanta.

How many schools do you think are within 200 miles of those? Now how many of those schools matter?

I’ve always felt that the SECCG could rotate between a few cities. With that being said, MBS is absolutely amazing, and we’ve always had a good time in Atlanta.

I remember my first tailgate at the gulch like it was yesterday.

Aggy - only been to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl.

Yet complains about having to go to Atlanta - when the goal is getting to Atlanta.

Outside of being in the actual southeast and having a major airport with flights to everywhere, you mean?

Don't worry it will be back in Birmingham/Hoover next year.

It had to take a backseat to the World Games this year.

As long as the SEC office is in Birmingham, it will always come back to Birmingham.

Well, that's just wrong. Have you ever been to the Atlanta airport? It's one of the easiest to get around in. Andif it does have more delays (Which I don't know if it does or does not) it might have to do with there are more flights going in and out of Atlanta. It's the busiest (and biggest) airport in the world.

Because Dallas is a central location?

Houston, New Orleans, and Nashville are worse than Atlanta in many respects; Dallas is better than those three, but still falls short of Atlanta.

Tell the truth....you once got a speeding ticket going through the Big A and/or spent time in jail there, right? This is the source of your rant, we're all sure.

It's odd how Aggies are always insisting that Texas fans will be the ones wanting to change everything.


They are really just a bunch of pussies that bitch about everything, and then blame everything but the Haiti earthquake on Texas, and some guy named DeLoss.

Actually, it’s a very large airport with tons of direct flights from multiple carriers. It has tons of convention space and hotel space and the food is acceptable.

From a business perspective, and this is business, not a game, Atlanta actually makes more sense that almost any other city I could name.

If New Orleans had a better airport, I would go with NOLA. But name a better airport system that’s more centrally located.

Yeah. There isn’t one.
