Atlanta will be neutral site for AFCCG

Don’t like it.

I know Atlanta has a big airport and lots of hotels and that’s probably the main reason they chose it.

But if the AFCCG had been in any of the three cities…Buffalo, Cincinnati, or Kansas City, weather would have been involved.

And for me the big deal is not the location but the bye…by not completing the Bills/Bengals game, Buffalo got “punished” because it had that within its control.

They should have just made up that game.

also Atlanta hosted a bunch of big college games recently

It's about equidistant from both cities and is about as neutral a site as you'll find.

As much as I love some outdoor January football, this decision makes sense.

Geography definitely the answer here
Vegas would be the ideal destination for neutral site game
Atlanta is fine but the area around the Benz is quite desolate
