Nashville does not have the airport
But, somehow, the little airport has a Hilton inside it, and it and the Nashville hotels support NFL and NHL games at the same as well as 250k people for CMAs every year. Why do people talk about what they don't know?

College football will be dead in 8 years.

I would be surprised if the game is around in 8yrs.
Greedy fricks well on their way to ruining the things that made CFB great.

They should bring it to Hot Springs and hold it at Oaklawn Park. I’d bet the coaches would love it….

I love Hot Springs, but I don’t think this is a good idea.

It should be moved around,

Might as well, playoffs going to kill attendance for this game. Why waste money on it, when you got playoff tickets to buy?

I didn’t mean the game but the SEC preseason media days. Coaches love to gamble…

Don’t forget that Jerry Jones is the owner of a tiny little venue and is an Arkansas alum (and he will remind you he played football there). I can see DFW becoming the new ATL…
LOL ! Because 81-year-old Jerry Jones sez so ?

Jerry Jones can't pull squat -- and won't.

Wrong. Also, isn’t it embarrassing that the B12 plays there CG in a far superior and more iconic venue that is also quite a bit larger?
It is NOT superior -- in fact, DFW's venue is far more outdated and far less technologically advanced than ATL's MB.
Not to mention, DFW's is far more removed from nearby attractions and, most importantly, hotel rooms and access from the airport.
ATL's MB has DIRECT access to Atlanta's Hartsfield Int'l Airport (world's busiest) via high-speed rail service. Passengers can exit their plane, take the train to the terminal, take the train to downtown ATL to their hotels and/or the MB stadium without ever going outside. DFW has NOTHING -- absolutely NOTHING that can compare.
Then, there are all the thousdands of hotel rooms within WALKING distance of the stadium, not to mention the attractions within WALKING distance of the hotels and stadium -- The Georgia Aquarium (world's largest), The World of Coca-Cola Museum, Olympic Park, Georgia World Congress Center, CNN Center, numerous restaurants PLUS train service to the Beverly Hills of The South, Buckhead, for Rodeo Drive-style shopping, etc., if that's what you want, all without having to take a taxi!!
If you want to head out to the surrounding area for some touristy stops, there's plenty to wet your appetite, too. Plus ---- Atlanta is so much more beautiful scenery-wise than flat, ugly Dallas.
Even Dallas' skyline is old and dated...........
Atlanta's skyline is much nicer and more modern, reminiscent of New York...
AT&T Stadium is out in the boondocks in Irving, Texas...20 miles from downtown Dallas and 14 miles from DFW Airport (no train service)
Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium is smack-dab in downtown Atlanta and only 8 miles from ATL Int'l Airport --- by train!
DFW can't compare with The ATL!! End of story.

We’re smart enough NOT to add public transit to most nice places. That’s precisely what keeps them nice. If you want ride a rail from the airport(s) to either downtown or the hood though, we got you covered.
It is also been 15 years since the Cowboys played in Irving, but I know that gets confusing since there are so many large cities here. Ft Worth alone has better stuff than Atl.

That's a bunch of pompous bull hockey. You don't have public transit because Dallas never had the foresight to plan & build a rail system as Atlanta did, beginning back in the 1960s.
In order to get from DFW airport to AT&T Stadium, one must either rent a car....get a taxi.....take shuttle bus....obtain chauffeur/limo services....or walk. If you've got it covered, I guess you must be talking about your free supply of umbrellas for your visitors, then; otherwise, I don't know how "Dallas has you covered."
Although Greater Atlanta (10,500 sq. miles) is more spread out than the Dallas & Ft. Worth metro areas combined (8,675 sq. miles), Atlanta has more hotel rooms by nearly 20,000 over DFW, attractions and accommodations, restaurants, shopping, etc., are much more compact and centered in the downtown and surrounding area where the sporting event is held as compared with almost nothing around the immediate area of AT&T Stadium.

I forgot to mention that ATT stadium is one of the few major venues that you can just drive up to and park without having to worry about reserving a spot and it accommodates a college town tailgating atmosphere. Plus it will have another half billion dollars or so in upgrades by the time the MB contract is up.
The TRE rail will likely stop at the Arlington entertainment district by then also.

I always wanted them to do a year in ATL when the East is the home team and a year in NOLA when the West is the home team. Now that divisions are gone, it really doesn't matter where it is but Atlanta is terrible with traffic so wouldn't mind it being somewhere else.
