It seems the dome/weather was a priority for the decision makers. Yes, part of the decision-making process is that this is an opportunity for a grand experiment... neutral sites for the conference championship games, so weather, controlled playing environements, hotels, etc are the major considerations. 28 minutes ago, JakeFrommStateFarm said: Whats wrong with Atlanta ?

DrDawkinstein Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 1 hour ago, SydneyBillsFan said: Why Atlanta which is so far away from both cities? Why not Indy, Cincy or even Chicago? Doesn't seem to me like the NFL took fans travel time and costs into consideration here. It's a 90min flight from each city, and usually pretty cheap because Atlanta is such a hub airport (busiest in the world!). Way easier for everyone to get to than Indy or Cincy. Plus, Cincy and Chicago are open stadiums. Atlanta is the most cost effective and easiest travel out of all options due to the airport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I survive the tailgate to make it in, yes. We've been half expecting this and already tentatively planning the tailgate.

They are. The other Hyatt downtown is the true Hyatt (as opposed to the smaller Hyatt Place). Downtown Hyatt hosts all the big conferences (DragonCon, etc).

RG Murdock Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Amtrak takes you from Buffalo to Atlanta in 23 hours for $175 meals included (Fully refundable). You can drink the entire trip!! You can take the train with literally hundreds of your Buffalonians. You can fly back. I've taken Amtrak to Charlotte many times... It's a great trip. Note this is coach.. If you want a sleeper, it's about $1100.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the downtown stadium in the distance on my one mile drive to the grocery store. I’m trying to take it one game at a time, but that just became a challenge! This would be AMAZING! The Bills had a good showing last time they played here when the stadium was new. I’m sure the AFCCG will draw a great red, white and blue crowd! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insufferably hot/humid in the summer, but not offset by a really pleasant winter like Florida. 2. Godawful traffic. 3. The 2nd highest property crime rate major US cities (Miami). 4. Lack of interesting natural or cultural attractions for visitors. I had a day of dead time there on a business trip a few years ago and multiple locals told me to go to the Coca-Cola museum. Which I did. EDIT: I see the MLK historic site was greatly expanded in 2018, after I was there the last time. So that would be my only reason for visiting other than a football game. offset I guess by a really, really nice football stadium.

I meet a guy in a tennis league and we’re doing the whole where are you from, what do you do for work thing. He said “I’m from the armpit of the United States”. I said “Oh, Gary, Indiana?” He said “so you’ve been there!” I told him I drove through one time, and that’s all I needed to see. 😂 Winter sucks here with too many gray days in the 40’s and rain, but at least it’s relatively brief. I don’t mind the heat of summer, in fact I like that part. It’s just too big for my taste, but we (the wife and son) are here to make money. Atlanta has career type jobs that were not available in our previous home towns (Hilton Head Island and Sarasota, FL). In fact, few cities rival Atlanta for work opportunities. Oh well…..a few more years for my wife. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know there are 2 more games before the AFCCG ….and right now, the only thing that counts is Miami. But yes, if you don’t plan ahead you can be too late. Airfare, car rentals and hotels, IF you can get them, will spike similar to the way they do for the Bills home opener. Atlanta is so much bigger it can more easily absorb a single big game, but I bet now is as cheap as it will be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
