The SEC and the Georgia Dome have agreed on a 5-year extension for the SEC Football Championship Game to be played at the facility through 2015, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive announced in a press release this afternoon.
"The SEC Football Championship Game has become one of the season's premiere events," said Slive. "The Georgia Dome and the Georgia World Congress Center is a fitting host for our event. Their operations staff and leadership have been tremendous to work with and we look forward to continuing the relationship."
Since coming to the Georgia Dome in 1994, all but one of the years: 1995, has been a sellout. That fan support aided in the decision to extend the contract with the dome.
"The city of Atlanta has also served us well in the past," Slive said. "The quality of accommodations and the fact that it is a transportation hub for the Southeast makes it a great city to host the SEC Weekend of Champions." The SEC Rocks!
