Rumor has it that FSU is strongly considering moving an 8th home game to Atlanta for the 2008 season.
What I think about it:
Pros:
Higher presence for recruiting in Georgia.
More exposure to Seminole fans in areas that can’t visit Tallahassee.
It’ll likely be a high profile SEC opponent.
Season Ticket holders don’t have to pay for the 8th game unless they want to travel.
Cons:
It’s one less home game for FSU.
It might tick off Georgia Tech (whether that is a con is debatable).
The Georgia Dome is a pit.
It’s bad for the local Tallahassee fans.
It’s extra money on top of the season tickets that fans have to pay to go to Atlanta.
That’s off the top of my head, but what do you guys think? I’m curious. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the FSU Football Program. Is it a trend you’d like to continue seeing? What about in cities like Tampa & Orlando?

The Georgia Dome a pit? I think not? How may domes have you been to? I have been to both the Supredome and Georgia Dome and the GA Dome is not a bad place for football. Another plus it’s inside…no heat. Admittedly there is not much tailgating space in the ATL

Fair enough, “pit” might have been a poor choice of words, but the sightlines there don’t compare to most college “bowl-style” stadiums. I guess I’ve been spoiled at Doak for a while.
