I mean, the new Sphincter Dome has more personality than this thing. Plain walls. Plain brick facade. Plain Wrigley Field Ivey. Plain chophouse. Plain scoreboard. Plain architecture. Plain multipurpose complex next to a plain water feature. There's just nothing overly exciting about it. Suntrust Park may suit it because it looks about as bland as the waiting area of a local Suntrust branch. Then again it is in Cobb County so maybe plain and corporate suits it.

I agree. It's cookie cutter. They didn't take any risks in the design or features. Kind of like the ted now, very basic. Look at the stadiums that have been built in the last 10-15 years: PNC Park, Pac Bell or whatever it's called now, Citi Field, etc.. all have something somewhat unique about them. This is just same old boring shite.

Yea, it isn't exciting but the only reason I am excited for it is getting it out of that shite hole and for the added revenue.


And for those who rather have Coke or Home Depot or whatever...here's the thing: They have more than enough exposure in Atlanta and pretty much the nation. Why would they need to drop a chunk of change into a stadium name? Suntrust is meh but I was hearing shite way worse like some Japanese firms.
