The brand new Atlanta Falcons stadium. They will divide up the seats to both sides and most will be up for grabs with corporate sponsors getting a fair share of them

No shortage of Alabama fans in Georgia. I worked in Columbus, on the Alabama/Georgia border, and there plenty of AL to match the GA fans. Auburn and FL State were also represented.

Kind of pisses me off, winners want to beat the best. I have no doubt Clemson is itching to meet Bama in the CFP final (again). And I haven't seen any “We Want Bama” signs at ND.

Hotel rooms .... lots of them.

Strip joints .... lots of them.

Bars/nightclubs .... lots of them.

Fans .... Tuscaloosa is a few hour drive. Athens is about an hour. Fans for each will fork over thousands, to scalpers and ticket brokers, to see that game. There are thousands and thousands of Alabama folks and alumni that reside in Georgia, especially in the metro area.
