All this talk of in-town stadiums is just pissing me off about the Cobb County Braves all over again
Turner Field is a shite location. If there was a way to put the new stadium next to the new Falcons place, that would be one thing. Especially having access to Marta, and not having to take a shuttle to the stadium.
But since there isn't land near the Dome, they should have spent whatever it took to get the old GM plant.

Agree - it was not downtown either.

Like they talked about putting Olympic Stadium where Centennial Park is now (though you can't argue with the success of Centennial Park to the area)

Actually just listened to the head of the new investment project at the GM plant talk at the DeKalb Chamber Lunch. That place is going to be incredible.
And I say all this about Cobb as someone whose firm's office is literally across 285 from the stadium in the Galleria. I watch it being built every day. It just sucks.

Bunch of Doraville neighborhood "activist" lobbied the city council to reject any type pf plans for a new facility for the Falcons so I very much doubt they would have approved a Braves facility.
The perfect place for the Braves would have been where Atlantic Station sits today...too
bad ACOG and the Braves did not have the foresight to do it in the 90's...and Atlantic Station is now a semi dump.
