I’ve also never found Atlanta to be hospitable in any way shape or form. They act perturbed.

Rotate between NFL domes in the SEC footprint. Dallas, Houston, NO, Atlanta, etc. The SECCG has been a home game for UGA and located in the eastern division for a long time. It's time to start changing it up.

Atlanta is far from a Terrible college city. Tons of schools located within a couple of hours. During football season, you could literally run into any alumni group at a restaurant watching their team

It should rotate and New Orleans should absolutely be in the rotation.

Eastern travel hub with mass transit and 1000's of hotel rooms. Other than that there aint shite to do there. Been there many times for business and it is boring as hell.

Also helps that they now have one of the most modern stadiums. Wasnt always that way though.

Have you guys even been to some of the stadiums you're suggesting?

The Liberty Bowl stadium in Memphis is a toilet that needs to be replaced.

Jacksonville is considered one of the poorer stadiums in the NFL. Plus, minimal appeal other than the game.

There really should be a rotation, and the Superdome should be in it. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys) probably isn't a possibility because the Big 12 has a contract to play its game there through 2025 (and will likely be extended).

So...Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston and .... Orlando?

I like going to Atlanta. It’s a good time. I think they should rotate ATL, Dallas, Nola, and Houston

I live in Georgia, so I'm not complaining. 2019 was a lot of fun.

Auburn is the reason.

The SEC East wants Atlanta because they get home field advantage. They have long blocked tickets.

Auburn sides with them because Atlanta is a short drive up interstate.
