I think in this case it’s because it’s a game we already sawThis matchup seems pretty good. I don't know why the public is so wary of SEC-only finals.
The game between Clemson and Bama in SF didn’t generate much interest around town as it was those 2 teams. The championship is played in an nfl stadium. So unless they keep it to places like Houston, Dallas, NO, Atl, TB, and such it limits their destinations if different teams don’t makes the finals.Single cheapest ticket isn’t a good valuation of this. Even though going to Indianapolis in January probably isn’t very appealing.
That doesn't equate to the single cheapest ticket though. $424 is a lot.The game between Clemson and Bama in SF didn’t generate much interest around town as it was those 2 teams.

I don't think going to Indianapolis is very appealing the other 11 months either
For some reason this reminded me of a travel story.
I once flew back home (which at the time was Syracuse, NY) in January after seeing my then girlfriend in Miami during winter break in college. Had a layover in Atlanta. As we started approaching our target area and descended below the thick gray clouds into our approach at KSYR, the passengers got to see what I saw every winter growing up: a wasteland of lake-effect snow, ten feet per year, and everything mobilized primarily for the purpose of dealing with that volume of snowfall.
One of the bewildered passengers said in a very thick Southern accent "No offense but why would anyone want to live here?" I responded "because it's home" because I literally didn't have any other explanation. I should have asked him why tf he was on this flight but w/e.
Something doesnt make sense here. Alabama opened as a point favorite now it is Georgia -3 and it hasnt moved. Alabama just blasted them a month ago. Im perplexed. Vegas knows more than I do but to me it seems like they like Georgia...again.
Pretty sure Georgia was always the favorite, I thought they opened -1.5
Notable Bets: Behind the Georgia-Alabama opening line, and what caused it to move
Yeah as I get older I ask myself these types of questions each winter, and Pittsburgh isn't nearly as snowy and cold as Syracuse.
And I know they go to places like Indy because of the stadium but if I was going to spend several thousand dollars to go to a championship game or super bowl, it would be a hard sell for me to go to a place like Indy or Detroit in the dead of winter. I'm not a beach guy but Miami or LA or someplace you can be outside and do things would be a big selling point.
Maybe they do it so the southerners can see what we go through in a little role reversal?
