Uhh..yes. It's really not hard to get.
Option A is outdoors in 20 degree weather with not much local fanfare outside of a NASCAR hall of fame.
Option B is indoors and climate controlled in a (since this scenario would be assuming the SECCG has left) brand new, state of the art facility that is one of the best in the world. Not to mention it has a shite ton of attractions all within a mile, including one that is actually specific to college football.
So yes, if you don't think that option B would outdraw option A, you are insane.
FSU vs GT, where paid attenedance was 64k
What do you think was actual? 45k

Yeah, because sitting outside in December in the elements isn't fun. The belk bowl between UGA and Louisville was like half full...if the game was in a domed stadium don't you imagine it would have drawn more?
Do you think the peach bowl would be a sellout every year if it were in jacksonville or charlotte?

Probably something like that. If only it was indoors and a few hours closer to both teams...

This was 2012 when Georgia Tech snuck in with a record of 6-6 because everyone else in the division was rule ineligible.
