I was going to post that. I still remember seeing that, it was stunning. That said, I don't think Jax is the best place for their CG. The conference is too stretched out, they need to adopt the Pac-12 home field model.
This. Pac-12 title game would look the same way, especially as there's not really a centrally-located venue that's good. Southern California and Seattle have them, but then you're looking at drives as long as 20-24 hours to get there.No, it's location. Fans will go to a conference championship game if it's in their backyard.

Neutral site championship games work for the Big Ten and SEC because the sites are located within a doable day trip from 70% of the members.
If ACC ran with home field for their title game, they'd sell them out. No, the following isn't as big as the SEC, but it's really more of a logistical issue.
