I think neutral sites are awesome in general. They are where championships are played for.
I suppose season ticket holders might have another opinion.

Yet you post no list of all 14 teams and said rivals
Do you talk about women on here and then don't post pics?

I much prefer on campus games to neutral site games in NFL stadiums. It works if it has the weight of tradition, like TWLOCP, but it can't and should not be forced.

Georgia/Florida still does theirs in Jacksonville
There used to be several neutral site rivalry games:
LSU @ Arkansas was played in Little Rock
Alabama vs Auburn was played in the Iron Bowl in Birmingham
I think one of the Mississippi schools rivalries used to be played in Jackson.
The reason most of these ended was that the home stadiums of these schools became much larger and nicer than the fields at the neutral sites. The original reason for these neutral sites was that they were played in large cities with large stadiums, but most of the big SEC stadiums now hold at least 80k, so that doesn’t make much sense anymore.

Stupid.
Regardless of the result, I would have much rather home and home'd with UNC, NC State, and ECU instead of playing in Charlotte like 5 times over the past 10 years.
I'd definitely hate playing Clemson in Charlotte as opposed to playing in Clemson or Columbia.

I could see the benefits of moving the WLOCP to campus. Otherwise, Army-Navy and Texas-OU are the only rivalry games that should be played at a neutral site.

Depends on the "Rivalry" and the location of said game.
MU-kU at Arrowhead makes a ton of sense.
MU-Illinois in STL, Ton of sense.
MU-Arky at Arrowhead, not so much. Although I give it a pass being the Friday Thanksgiving Weekend with students out of town.
I'd rather see home and homes though.

Hard to believe now but in 1968 there was a day/night double header with LSU-Alabama in the first game and Tennessee-Auburn at night at Legion Field in Birmingham.

I hate them. We give up 2 home games a year due to this. 1 game a year to A&M at Jerry's World, and then every other year in Little Rock against Mizzou.
We have 2 home SEC games in Fayetteville this year. It's lame.

I’d be in favor of a neutral site rivalry game, if you could play it at a third SEC schools stadium. Imagine the Iron Bowl at the Swamp or the DSOR at Neyland or LSU and whoever their rival is at Jordan-Hare.
Yea, dumb idea is dumb. But could you imagine the destruction at those facilities.

I like them for other teams but I hate when LSU loses a home game because of an early season neutral site game.

No its terrible but its a money maker and recruiting tool. Much rather home/home.

Glad they seem to be loosing steam. I like home and home. The neutral site games just rape the fans with tickets cost and hotel cost. I think the college towns need to reap the revenues.

There's something to be said for visiting the campus/home field turf of opposing teams.
I'm not a fan of neutral site games. There's nothing like home-and-home games.

Go to 9 game SEC schedule to get rid of 1 cupcake.
4 home, 4 road, 1 neutral site with 50/50 ticket split.
Mix/match neutral site games among stadiums all over SEC footprint to give fans living in other areas a chance to see their team in person.
Make it happen, Skanky, make it happen.
