With Nebraska and Cincinnati moving their opening game to Kansas City, feels like our Georgia Tech game is ripe for a move to like Dallas for a kickoff classic spot for big $$$$$$

That would be pretty tough on a 17 year old freshmen QB. I'm not sure I like it.
Nah. Keep it in Boulder.
I totally agree, but I am saying that cash is flying everywhere, so if we are offered a sick amount of money, would Prime take it?
Only if the 2026 game at GT was also moved to neutral site and a guaranteed big pay day that at least doubles what CU would make from a home game
Mile High would be one thing, Jerry World would be something else entirely. I don't see it happening anyway though. I don't think either CU or GT is a big enough draw in DFW to fill a 90k stadium.
I could see Mile High. And then playing at Mercedes Benz Stadium in 2026. Both would add 20k+ seats for the games, assuming the demand is there.
The other thing that these early season "neutral site" games are going to have contend with in the expanded CFP age is that fans are going to have to pick and choose where to go see their team. It's obviously not guaranteed from year to year, but look at Oregon. They already had to go to Indianapolis for the CCG. Their next game is the Rose Bowl. If they win that, they have the Cotton Bowl, if they win that, the CFP championship is in Atlanta. Think about your average Portland superfan, trying to make all those trips.
ASU is kind of in the same boat, though less likely to advance, but they've already played in Dallas, next they're in Atlanta for the Peach Bowl, if they win that they're in Dallas, then Atlanta again.
It's one thing to be in the South and have all your neutral site games be in the South, but for the rest of the country, the picking and choosing is going to have to be part of the equation.

Yep. It's one thing to pay for a ticket and a hotel. But flights and car rentals have gotten a lot more expensive.
I think I priced out an Alamo Bowl for just my kid and me at about $1100 for everything but food. Doing that 2, 3, 4 times in a 6 week time period would be completely impossible.
That's insane
I bet its 75/25 it stays at Folsom, but if Jerryworld gets involved cause of Prime’s connection or Mile High in 25 and Mercedes in 26 works out, we may have to listen if it is a +$X Millions to us.
Didn’t even think about that. NFL doesn’t have that problem since it’s all at home stadiums. It’s what we get when the Boomers who invented the bowl system are the same people clinging to them but trying to fit an entirely new system around them.
Georgia Tech has been moving 1 of their better games annually across town to Mercedes Benz and in 2026 their marquee games (Clemson and Georgia) are both on the road. So there's a good chance our game against them gets moved to MB.
That would be awesome for the Juju Buffs to roll into town, he is playing there on Wednesday night
Alabama has a lot of nerve. Whining about teams doing to them what they did to everyone, before it was legal.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I just realized I put this in the wrong thread.
Bama either doesn't truly have the consistent NIL support people think, or their boosters are being stingy. That's a bit embarrassing for the AD to have to whine about other programs stealing their players and recruits and then have a 3 paragraph promotion of their collective.
That post-Saban life a real eye opener for that University and fanbase

“We have been cheating for years and now we need to cobble together some sort of legitimate fundraising because the bags are a lot bigger than when they were under the table”
“We are Alabama”
I'd much rather attend a game at Bobby Dodd than MB. Ther did a feature on that stadium about a month ago during a game and I was surprised to hear that is is the oldest on campus stadium in FBS.
