Nice to get this confirmed. Should be a fun trip for both fan bases.

I wonder if this game will replace Troy and if there will be a basketball tie-in...

My guesses would be yes & no.

Also, I don't know if the Georgia Dome will be there. Is it going to be demolished before the new dome is constructed or afterwards?

Dome gone 2017

woohoo!

After. The falcons last season in there is 2016.

Correct

Atlanta convention folks will not allow a gap between the "GA DOME" and the new MPF because they have hundreds of events scheduled for the city during the years that require one or the other be available. It sure would have been nice to have a local MPF to get some of those events for this metro area.

Has there been a study as to what happens when a city tears down a 20 year old dome and builds a new facility?

We should be experts. They want to tear down Turner Field the same year. I am hoping we move over there.

I'm excited about this series.

Atlanta > Troy

Yes

It will replace Troy. We will be announcing another opponent soon for H&H that has been discussed on this board. their mascot is also type of feline.

Troy may rotate back on later down the road.

A blue feline team has an opening starting in 2016.

As do the mighty USA Jaguars

As long as they don't go taking selfies before the game in the Ga Dome, I'm fine w/ it. I think there's a much better upside to playing USA on a regular basis than Troy if that happens to come to fruition.

I'll say it: Kentucky

I was referring to a home and home but as far as a buy game you may be smoking hot.
