Question: The 2003 SEC Championship Game was played at a stadium owned and operated by who?
Context: The 1999 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida during 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season.  The season was Steve Spurrier's tenth as the head coach of the Florida Gators football team.  The Gators returned to the SEC Championship Game after a two-year hiatus, but did not bring home another SEC Championship trophy.  After losing the SEC Championship Game 34–7 to the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Gators ended their season with a last-second 37–34 loss to the Michigan State Spartans in the Citrus Bowl.  Spurrier's 1999 Florida Gators posted a 9–4 overall record and a 7–1 record in the Southeastern Conference, placing first among the six SEC Eastern Division teams. The 2003 SEC Championship Game was won by the LSU Tigers 34–13 over the Georgia Bulldogs.  The game was played in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. The SEC Championship Game (officially SEC Championship on CBS presented by Dr Pepper for broadcast and sponsorship purposes) is an annual American football game that has determined the Southeastern Conference's season champion since 1992.  The championship game pits the SEC Western Division regular season champion against the Eastern Division regular season champion.  It is typically played on the first Saturday of December. The 2008 Dr Pepper SEC Championship Game was played December 6, 2008, in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia to determine the 2008 football champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).  The game featured the Florida Gators and the Alabama Crimson Tide.  The Gators were classified as the home team.  Before this game was played, the designated "home team", chosen on an alternating basis, was 10–6 (11-6 after Florida's win in this game) in SEC Championship Games.  The SEC East is 10–6 in SEC Championship games (11-6 after Florida's win), with the Florida Gators accounting for six of the 10 victories.  (seven after this game) Before this game, Alabama had represented the SEC West five times in the conference championship game with a 2–3 record. The 2011 SEC Championship Game was played on December 3, 2011, in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, and determined the 2011 football champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).  The game featured the Georgia Bulldogs of the Eastern division against the LSU Tigers of the Western division.  LSU (the Western division champion) was the designated "home team".  This was Georgia's 4th SEC Championship Game and LSU's 5th, and the 3rd time these two teams met in this game.  LSU defeated Georgia in 2003 and Georgia defeated LSU in 2005. The 2016 SEC Championship Game was played on Saturday, December 3, 2016 in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, and determined the 2016 football champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).  The game was played between the Eastern Division champion, Gators, and Western Division champion Alabama.  The Eastern Division team was the designated home team, and the game was broadcast nationally by CBS for the 16th consecutive year.  This was the final SEC Championship Game in the Georgia Dome, which is set to be demolished once the Dome's replacement, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, opens in 2017.  The title game will move to the new stadium and will remain there through at least 2027. The Georgia Dome is a recently retired domed stadium in the southeastern United States, currently under demolition.  Located in Atlanta, Georgia, between downtown to the east and Vine City to the west, it was owned and operated by the State of Georgia as part of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority.  Its successor, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, was built adjacent to the south and opened in August 2017. The 2013 SEC Championship Game was a college football game that was played on Saturday, December 7, 2013 in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, with the kickoff at 4:12pm ET.  The 22nd annual SEC Championship Game, determined the 2013 champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).  The game was played between the Auburn Tigers, champions of the SEC's Western division, and the Missouri Tigers, champions of SEC's Eastern division.  In the highest-scoring contest in the game's 21-year history, Auburn won 59–42. The 2009 SEC Championship Game was played on December 5, 2009, in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, to determine the 2009 football champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).  The game featured the Florida Gators and the Alabama Crimson Tide.  The Crimson Tide was the designated "home team"; this home team, chosen on an alternating basis, was 2–4 in SEC Championship Games.  The winner was all but assured to go on to play for a National Championship, in a likely matchup with the Texas Longhorns provided Texas won in the Big 12 Championship Game versus the north division champion Nebraska Cornhuskers.  Entering the 2009 contest, the SEC East was 11–6 in SEC Championship games, with the Florida Gators accounting for seven of the eleven victories.  Before the 2009 game, Alabama represented the SEC West six times in the conference championship game, compiling a 2–4 record, and had faced the Gators in all six of their previous SEC Championship game appearances.  This was the first and so far the only time any conference championship game had featured two undefeated teams and was also the first time an AP Poll No. 1 played a No. 2 outside of the BCS Championship Game since the top-ranked Ohio State beat the second-ranked Michigan during the 2006 regular season. The 1992 SEC Championship Game was played on December 5, 1992, at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.  The Southeastern Conference (SEC) was the first conference in NCAA Division I college football to host a post-season conference championship game, and the 1992 game was the first time the SEC Championship Game was held.  The inaugural match-up determined the 1992 SEC football champion.  The Alabama Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama, winners of the SEC Western Division, defeated the Florida Gators of the University of Florida, who won the SEC Eastern Division, by a score of 28-21.
