Soldier Field makes the most sense. I wouldn't send even virtual kids to play in Kansas. That's just mean.

It would be hilarious if they threw in Wrigley Field and let you play it "Loser walks" like they did for Illinois-Northwestern

I agree! No one should be forced to play in Kansas. I agree with Soldier Field making the most sense, it's just the most realistic out of the locations I named.

Howabout Auburn and Georgia Tech in the Georgia Dome? I'd love to see that rivalry resume.

After learning that we can change the site of conference games, I'm sure this thread will receive more action. So with that added, I've got several more ideas.

UGA/UF rotated every year from Jacksonville and Atlanta
Michigan/Michigan St. in Detroit
N'Western/Illinois in Chicago
Ole Miss/Tennessee in Memphis
Texas A&M/Arkansas in Dallas
Arizona/Arizona St in Glendale
Air Force/Boise in Denver
Rutgers/UCONN in NY
VT/UNC in Charlotte

You know whats interesting, I was just going to post how that would never happen because it would be an unfair advantage for Georgia. For some reason I always thought Athens was much closer to Atlanta than Gainesville to Jacksonville.

Well, after 5 minutes with google maps its almost eerie how close it actually is.

Gainesville to Jacksonville: 71 mi
Athens to Atlanta: 71.5 mi

Athens to Jacksonville: 339 mi
Gainesville to Atlanta: 331 mi

Now, being a Jacksonville resident, I would not want this to happen, and as a Gator fan I admittedly would be worried about consistent fan turnout in Atlanta. (Gotta give UGA credit for showing up in Jax every year).

Still, Jacksonville is only about 30 mins from the actual STATE of Georgia, while Atlanta is about 3 hours from FL and there are more UGA fans towards Jacksonville than there are UF fans up towards Atlanta.

But anyway, it would be pretty fun to set this up in NCAA.

That's nice and all but you can only change your games.
