I don't think Godell will go for that, in large part because it is an AFC West Stadium, and would be deemed not neutral because KC plays an in season game there. Gotta make it fair for the quitters.

If you're going by places where neither team has played this year, that would eliminate:

Arizona
Baltimore
Chicago
Cincinatti
Denver
Detroit
Houston
Indianapolis
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
Miami
New England
New York
North Carolina
San Francisco
Tampa Bay

I just say Dallas so I can go to the game.

True.

And perpetually good weather would eliminate any travel concerns there.

Chicago is about the only place, that hasn't already said no, that makes sense if the NFL wants someplace somewhat in the middle that both team's fans could get to. Especially if the early reports are true that the NFL desires to play in an open air stadium. Vegas would be nice since it's easily accessible with plenty of flights.

While both those places make logical sense, the game will be in Pittsburgh and a homecoming for Hamlin who will be in attendance.

It’s not like we’ve played there a bunch of times. They’ve only been in Vegas for a couple of years, and the first year didn’t even have fans. I don’t think they’d avoid playing it in Miami just because it’s an AFC east stadium.

Have it in Cleveland. They can see their stadium full and be able to say they hosted an AFC championship game.

I still think one of the very nice college stadiums would be a great compromise.

Others have said it: The Rose Bowl would be pretty awesome.

It’s also the closest stadium to Buffalo and is only a 3 hour drive away. Cleveland did host the 1986 AFCCG, although it was in their old stadium.

Pittsburgh's just down the road from Buffalo. :shake:

I want them to play the game on an aircraft carrier. Maybe with nets on the side so the guys don't all drown.

I could go for this as long as it's long enough for Patrick Mahomes II to air it out.
