Alabama and Clemson are less than 400 miles apart, so common sense would tell me to have the game in Atl or Florida or within that vicinity. This means Clemson will travel approx 2700 miles, and Bama about 2300 miles. I know, they don't have to travel by train or bus like back in the day, but I do know that the average fan of either team can't go to the game and that's sad. We all know it boils down to money, money, money. I understand the politics of the situation. I also know we sent a man to the moon and back safely, so why can't there be a backup plan for a situation like this one? Wait a minute, what am I saying? We didn't go to the moon! That's for any conspiracy theorist out there.
