Not really surprising if you account for the design. Fulton County was fully enclosed all the way around, which kept the wind blowing into the stadium to a minimum. At the TED, the outfield is wide open and the wind sweeps in and can keep balls in the field of play.

And didn't the TED give up like 25 more homers last year than KC's park? Just sayin....

No one ever blamed the HR production at old Fulton Co on the enclosed design back in the day...they always tried to link the altitude and humidty of the city to HR production.
Not saying your theory is wrong.I would like to see some comparisons between the older enclosed stadiums(3 Rivers,
Riverfront,The Vet,Shea) and their newer open field counterparts
