Impressive. With that kind of a facility, maybe Tech gets bumped down to an even more distant #3 recruiting in state...

Also, who wants to bet that upon completion Atlanta gets another mid-tier bowl game?

They will never come close to filling that stadium up. In fact, I'd be surprised if they could fill it to half capacity.

Dishonest Rendering imo. Like the fat jewish guy paddling a Jon boat with screen bottom he sprayed with rubber snake oil.

I can't decide if these things truly go together in some sort of weird Atlanta-way

What a waste of time,money and effort.No way GSU survives or competes in
D1 w/out huge subsidies and spending at least half the season on the road vs P5
opponents getting a payday.
GSU becoming a Houston or Memphis is a pipedream.

Not now, of course not. But maybe 10-15 years down the line when the facility legitimizes their program enough to attract a decent coach and recruits. Curious what the seating capacity will be. Sanford Stadium-West has a capacity of 55k; may need to have the ol vacation home spruced up to maintain appearances

Given that State absorbed Georgia Perimeter, I wonder what the athletics fee is going to start looking like for students

Seems like an apt product. Wonder if Poulan Weedeaters wants back into the bowl scene and would be willing to co-sponsor

So will students at the different Perimeter campuses be asked
to kick in fees for the FB program?

Theoretically, I believe they could. There are now a bunch of State satellite campuses all around metro Atlanta. Seems like they could institute an Athletic fee to those students if they wanted to (and given the need for money at State, I'm sure they want to)

Georgia State home field advantage means visiting team will always have less vacant seats than GA state...even if no visiting fans arrive.
Is this the first MLB park to college football stadium conversion?

That'll add up to some pretty big numbers depending on the fee of course.

The nature of Atlanta sports is to always make the home team feel like the underdog.

As far as I can tell, yes. Most older stadiums have been demolished, not refurbished. Turner Field is part of that whole new trend to ditch 20 year old stadiums for stupidly expensive and ill conceived monstrosities paid for by political lies and money movement. While the latter is nothing new, the whole trend of leaving perfectly find stadiums is so I doubt many other spots have been vacated recently enough for someone to duplicate this project.
My god, they're gentrifying a baseball stadium that failed to gentrify the southside of Atlanta in the first place

I think that's the Board of Regents whole idea; rather than have a bunch of separate entities floating around, start consolidating them all under one roof so the money is flowing in one direction

They did it at Wrigley a few years ago (obviously temporary)
I honostly hope GSU can make it work down there.The picture looks pretty damn
cool.No doubt some of GSU alums I know will give it a shot.

I think he meant a permanent switch; plenty of baseball stadiums host bowl games or niche games (Wrigley held the Notre Dam-Northwestern game recently, the Pinstripe Bowl is played in Yankee Stadium, the Emerald Nut Bowl was played in AT&T Park, etc). This is the first I know of a college retrofitting a professional stadium to suit their needs

It looks horrible. Like a grandma's poopy butthole.
