Atlanta, New Orleans, St Louis, Nashville....thoughts?

ETA: I added in Nashville so there are two cities in the West and the East that host.

If you're going to rotate then they should absolutely be made to rotate between an East site and a West site every year. Whether that be just Atlanta/NO or Atlanta/Dallas or Atlanta/NO/Tampa/Dallas it should definitely be bounced back and forth between the two divisions.

I would not be for moving it out of Atlanta if you were just going to rotate between Atlanta and Tampa for example.

Right. I was just saying Tampa would be a city to host the game.

After thinking about it St. Louis would be probably be too cold when the SECCG is held...

Dallas, New Orleans for the West
Atlanta and Nashville/Tampa for the East.

But there needs to be an even number of cities for the West and East.

Birmingham was too cold and miserable in December. I doubt there will ever be another outside venue for the game.

Atlanta - Yes, perfect location, easy to get to either via road or air.

NOLA - No, why play there and then have either the winner or loser (and sometimes both) come back in 4 to 5 weeks time.

St. Louis - Easily acfcessibnle by air and road, but why the hell travel that far if the participants are Florida & Bama? Mizzou will not be in the title game for many years, and aTm is probably as close to Atlanta as it is StL.

Nashville - it can be damn cold in Nashville in December, or it can be raining, why move to an outdoor venue?

Atlanta has everything necessary, and as soon as the SEC moves out for even a year the ACC will jump on the chance to be annual there.

this is exactly what the SEC admins are afraid of. They don't want to lose the venue to the ACC.


ETA: Atlanta/Georgia Dome that is.
