Someone mentioned Nashville, which would be pretty awesome. I don’t think they will ask any places out west but I could be wrong. I honestly think this game should be played out in the elements. Philly or Baltimore perhaps? Quote

I’m assuming they want a centralized location between the two teams. But what’s more important, location or a mild climate? Quote

But what’s more important, location or a mild climate? Too cold… I’d say a balance of both. I like the reports that they’re considering open air stadiums. Carolina should be considered, Atlanta ( dome) would be fine. Nashville as well. I don’t mind Indy being out of the running, that was probably my least favorite of the options.

major Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 If it comes down to the neutral site, I have a feeling it will be at Jerry World (AT&T stadium in Arlington) Quote

Chicharito Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 If the game comes down to a neutral site the NFL will play in a warm weather city. No way the NFL lets cold or snow affect this game. Snow storm in the mid west or northeast and the teams can’t make it in would crush the NFL’s schedule and pockets. They don’t care if fans can attend games all the money is in commercials. New Orleans, Houston, LA, and Vegas would be my guesses . Quote

But Jerry is always about making an extra $. I could see the nfc championship game there at noon followed by afc championship game there at 7pm Quote
BRH Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Places we can probably rule out New England (may be in playoffs) New York (in playoffs) Philadelphia (in playoffs) Baltimore (may be in playoffs) Cleveland (too cold) Pittsburgh (too cold) Washington (league would never reward Snyder) Green Bay (in playoffs) Chicago (too cold) Cincinnati (in playoffs) Detroit (unavailable) Indianapolis (unavailable) Tennessee (may be in playoffs) Tampa (in playoffs) Jacksonville (may be in playoffs) Miami (may be in playoffs) Dallas (in playoffs) Minnesota (in playoffs) Denver (high altitude, too close to KC) Arizona (getting ready for SB) Vegas (too far west) LA (too far west) SF (too far west) Seattle (too far west) What’s Left Atlanta Carolina Houston New Orleans It’ll be one of these four. Carolina is the only open-air alternative. 1 minute ago, major said: I know. But Jerry is always about making an extra $.

Can’t get the end zones repainted in time, and getting everyone out and back in again (including the teams) would be too much of a hassle. Quote
TFBillsfan Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 If it plays out, I’d lean Nashville (if they are eliminated) and Atlanta as the likely destinations. Quote

I feel like they need to select a site soon to allow teams and fans to start making contingent travel plans, as well as to iron out the millions of details that need to be attended to. So I don’t think they’ll wait to see who’s eliminated during the postseason. They may wait til after the weekend to see what’s available, but not much longer than that. Atlanta or possibly Houston seem like the likely candidates tbh. Carolina’s and New Orleans’ stadiums aren’t state of the art and the league will want to put one of its best venues on display.

All things considered (travel, stadium, availability, experience and capability of hosting a huge event, hotels, etc.), it seems to me Atlanta is the place. They can start preparing now. Quote

They're in the other conference so the local fans aren't necessarily wired to hate either team involved in the game, making it a true "neutral" site assuming some locals would go; big city that has hosted big events in the past and has all that you need to host; weather for game is guaranteed to be good.

Seriously you put in the research and I appreciate it. That being said let it be ATL and I will be driving up there. 1 Quote
