| Clemson-Alabama clash finalized ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta committee which organized the Chick-fil-A Bowl announced final plans on Friday for Clemson and Alabama to open the 2008 season in the Georgia Dome. Atlanta Sports Council officials have been in negotiations with the schools for months to play the neutral-site game in Atlanta on Aug. 30, with tickets distributed evenly between the schools. Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan said last week plans for the game were put on hold while the committee focused on the bowl game, but he said talks would resume this week. Alabama played Florida State in Jacksonville on Sept. 29 this season in a similar neutral-site arrangement. Each team received $2 million for the game. Florida State won, 21-14, before a Jacksonville-record crowd of 85,412. SI.com - NCAA Football - Clemson to play Alabama in Georgia Dome in '08 - Friday January 4, 2008 3:28PM
