Note that Atlanta is home to the SEC Championship, and centrally located in SEC territory. South Bend, on the other hand, is located in the heart of the Big Ten. SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)—The mayor of South Bend, Ind., says the College Football Hall of Fame is moving from his city to Atlanta. Mayor Stephen Luecke said today that officials with the National Football Foundation, which runs the hall, told him Tuesday the hall was terminating its agreement with the city. Luecke says South Bend’s agreement with the hall runs through 2010, but that he would consider closing the hall before then. The hall opened in South Bend in 1995 to take advantage of its proximity to Notre Dame. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-hall-atlanta&prov=ap&type=lgns
A lot more people vist Atlanta than South Bend. The College Football Hall of Fame deserves to be in the heart of SEC territory
so do the offices of the SEC. BTW, you're right about the numbers. CFBHOF drew 65,000 paying visitors last year and it is estimated that the number of paying visitors will surpass that in the first 6 weeks after opening.
