The only question is the fate of the Georgia Dome with their plans for a new retractable roof stadium for the Falcons (IMHO, a big mistake).

The Georgia Dome is currently scheduled to be demolished following the 2016-17 football season. That means the championship would only be held in Atlanta for 2015,16 and maybe 17 depending on the exact date of demolition. Unless the championship is held entirely within the GWCC (which is possible), that would probably be the end of Atlanta being in the discussion. The new stadium is expected to land a block south of where the Georgia Dome currently sits, possible still connected to the GWCC but further away.
