Where should a National championship be played? (Venue)

[NoNC4Tubs]

I ask this question because it never fails that some prominent ESPN or Fox analyst says “for history and pageantry it should be the Rose Bowl”. Well here is the issues for me with that… 1) the Rose Bowl walled itself off from 70% of the nation for political reasons and basically became irrelevant 2) the Rose bowl itself aside from a 3rd quarter sunset is a dump of a stadium (and a national championship is almost certainly a night game) and 3) Since 98 teams west of the Mississippi are 3-9 in national championship games (Oklahoma and Texas are 2 of those wins). My point with #3 is that most of the teams winning national championships are coming from the East so what’s the point of going to LA every year?

So if not the Rose Bowl then where. If we go centrally located then the Cotton at Jerry World is it. If it’s tradition then Cotton, Sugar, and Orange are it.

But I think most would agree that it should be a rotation. But what type is the question. Should it be a rotation between the NY6 (Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Peach, and Fiesta) or should you use the NFL bid model like we initially did with the CFP.

I don’t know what the best for the sport is other than it SHOULD NOT be the Rose Bowl alone like some of the talking heads who sit in their cozy booths and paid for jet fare keep clamoring for. If I was to give a solution it would be the NY6 rotation.

The Rose Bowl stadium needs to be torn down and replaced with something fan friendly!

Rotate based on bid, like the NFL. Stipulation that it is a domed facility stadium.

CFB is basically “NFL Lite” now. Treat it as such.

Having been there, trust me: NOBODY wants that.

It's like Fenway Park or the Rose Bowl - you go to say you went.

Honestly Omaha is 100x better than Lincoln but they don’t have a field. Lincoln is a dump and so is the stadium in it is a dump too. I think if Omaha ever built a dome then it would be a good place to have it.

Kansas is about to build a 3 billion dollar stadium and park for the Chiefs. The park will basically be like Battery Park that the Braves have i.e. restaurants, retail, housing, and stadium. I would think they are doing this for more than just the Chiefs.

Yes, the Royals, too.

We should quit all pretense and just play it in Vegas every year, so that's my vote.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea if KC didn’t have one of the worst airports known to man. I know I’m talking to someone who lives in Atlanta but the volume of traffic going into MCI.

Two things I do know...

- Tampa should be barred from hosting any college playoff game. I had to sit on wooden bleachers in the endzone in 2016.

- Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is the worst in door stadium i have been to and thus should be barred from hosting.

Glendale, Dallas, and ATL probably should rotate the NC based on my personal experience.

I liked Indy more than Atlanta. But Indy has a very confusing structure with the lodges. The worst two things i have to say about Indy was 1) we lost and 2) the beer league was awful that night. I don’t know why people spend thousands of dollars to go to a game and get wasted at 5 dollar beer stands.

I think Atlanta is the worst claustrophobic nightmare i have ever been to. The old dome in my opinion was far superior in terms of concourses and seating.

Never been to a American football game in Mercedes-Benz, but the soccer game and the concert I went to, I did not dit in my assigned seat. I stood at a bar on the lower level. No one asked me to move so I stay there.

You’ve been here long enough to know how @81usaf92 feels about Nebraska football, and therefore what the intent of that post was…

Have you been there since it was redone?

 

[81usaf92]

Have you been there since it was redone?

No. I left the area in 2014

I got it. I thought it was funny. But tbh i think my hatred for them has died a little with age and knowing that a whole two generations of Huskers have grown up without any major accomplishments. Now the Osborne fans sound more like myth tellers than people who actually experienced goo Nebraska football

Since some college stadiums have bigger capacity and, imo, I’d prefer separating as completely from the NFL as possible, rotate between the big college stadiums.

I would make the Rose Bowl the permanent venue. The game has to be played on grass and in warm weather.

Geographically - Jerry World.
We now have west coast teams playing in Midwest and east coast conferences. And while we’re at it allow the higher seeded playoff teams to choose their 2nd round location. Of course Notter Dumb would appeal something and try to throw a stick in the spokes somewhere along the way.

30 straight losses to ranked teams after the disgraceful performance against Utah yesterday.

Haven't beaten a ranked foe since they took down the Oregon Ducks on September 17, 2016. And in my view you can hardly count that one, either, because Oregon wound up the year 4-8.

That's six weeks before the Cubs won their first World Series since the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" was written (1908).

Put it in St Louis, in the SEC footprint, but really more of a B1G city. They have a Dome, no NFL team. Centrally located in the U.S.
