Hans, just got the call from Brianna that the mtg has been cancelled. Again. have to be honest with you Hans, that sends a very bad message that I now have to pass on to our chairman who I briefed yesterday on the current status and upcoming discussion. I think you and I should talk very soon. if you look at it from our perspective, we met with the mayor and peter in October of 2011. 18 months later we are no further along in resolving any of the 3 major components of our discussion presented at that time. on the other hand, we have watched the state pass a major funding initiative for a new falcons stadium and that has now gone thru all the proper channels including approval by the city council in 7 short weeks. Not feeling real good about how we are being passed around. just being honest with you and I know I am going to have a real hard time convincing terry [Braves President Terry McGuirk] that the city still sees value in our team just like they did the falcons who economic impact can’t hold a candle to ours.

Reads like the Braves planned to move to Cobb County under any circumstance.. this is a cover smoke bomb email.

Fck the Braves... until Dale Murphy is in the Hall of Fame I do not care where you are.

While we're at it. frick Georgia Tech as well!

I really don't get the hate a lot of people that live inside the city have for the Braves' move. I keep hearing people cry that the Braves owe it to the city and the surrounding communities to stay loyal to the city and stay at Turner Field.

Are the dipshts of Cobb County happy about this move?

Will there be a Dale Murphy statue?

"They are not going to be calling themselves the Cobb Crackers or Smyrna Shits. They will be the Atlanta Braves and that's an indication of the value of the city," Utz wrote in that email that eventually led to his suspension.

The falcons were pretty up front about moving to LA if atl didnt play ball, and remember atl wasnt playing ball, the state got involved.

I love the Regular Guys fan band Peteetong Men doing the song "Idle Men" about the Braves moving.

Braves 81 games a year Falcons 10 including the 2 preseason
Maybe the city should have concentrated on the Braves.

Tickets are nothing to Braves games, most are local attendees. Ga Dome will host a LOT of other events that bring in out of towers. Smart move for everyone.
