well you're kind of an idiot if you think that. FSU/GT last year, outside in december, sold 64K tickets. You don't think they would have filled up the dome?

Last year was the first time in a long time that you actually had 2 decent teams playing each other in the ACCCG. They might have filled up the dome because GT is based in ATL and their fans could have bought them for less than $20 on the day of.

Obviously, your dukes and WF's aren't going to be a draw, and never will be. But if you don't think they could sell 75+ seats at an indoor dome in atlanta for some combo of FSU/gt/clemson/VT/miami you're insane.

Miami- doesn't even travel 20 miles to its HOME STADIUM
FSU fans will save their money for a playoff trip
GT- would get a bump because they are based in ATL
Clemson would have less of a turnout than from CLT
VaTech ppl are used to early dec weather so that is not a factor for them and travel conditions are the same for CLT or ATL.

The fact that the SECCG is in ATL has no bearing on its attendance. Its the SECCG, we (SEC fans) live and breath football and have made the SECCG a must attend event. The ACC not so much.

Also from personal experience CLT is a better city to visit than ATL.
