I get that's the unofficial HQ of the conference but it's like a home game for Tennessee(when they were good) and Georgia.

Play the game in Charlotte or Indianapolis or another neutral non SEC site.
Sure LSU fans will be there in droves, but I never liked playing UGA in their back yard.

Birmingham is the headquarters of the SEC.

ETA: ATL gets the game because it has the biggest and easiest airport to fly in and out of.

IMO, the game should alternate between Atlanta and New Orleans

LSU is 5-1 in the SEC CG vs those 2 teams, the one we lost, it was our 11th straight game and Russell got hurt

SEC ain’t moving it out of Atlanta. Airport plus stadium.

Should rotate between ATL and New Orleans. I'd add Nashville to that, but there is no dome. Needs to be in a dome in December IMO.

2 of the only 3 times we've played in a National Championship game it's been just a cool hour drive down the road to NOLA right after beating UGA in Atlanta so Im cool with it.

So what you're saying is the Sugar Bowl should be moved from NOLA?

I have been to the SEC title game on three occasions, and had a great time on each trip. And two of those games were against Georgia.

I'm ok with it being in Atlanta. One, the game should be in a dome. You'd hate to have bad weather play a factor in the game. That means Nashville and Charlotte are out. Indianapolis is the site of the Big 10 championship and it is BY NO MEANS "southern". Arlington has a dome, but try as they might, Texas is not and never will be "SEC country". Plus, the Big 12 plays their game there.

The ONLY other reasonable spot is NOLA. The one knock on NOLA is that it isn't as centrally located all the teams in the conf. as Atlanta. Plus, Atl. is a bit easier to get to.

Been to all of our SEC Champ games. Neither UGA or Tenn had an advantage. Tiger fans travel to this game!

Atlanta is the de facto capital of southern football.

It hasn't been a huge advantage for Georgia, since opposing fans can get in and out as easily and most have huge alumni bases there anyway.
