However, this may be the one decent thing Reed does as Mayor:

Reed said he still prefers Georgia State University’s plans to redevelop Turner Field into a mix of student housing, stores, restaurants and athletic fields.

What? A casino? If so, I totally agree: Atlantic Station is basically made for that kind of attraction. Plus, the closer to Buckhead the better.

Would love to walk around that area with a few hundred dollars in my pocket.

That football stadium has the crappiest seating I've ever seen. But there won't be more than 2,000 for a game anyway.

Why in the world would they build a brand new football stadium modeled after the rendering? Horrible set up.

after the way that neighborhood's "leader" treated reps from Ga Sate, I am not confident that will happen..and I still say putting college students near that violent scum is a big mistake.

I don't think thats a brand new football stadium. Looks to me like it is just using part of Turner as their football stadium

The college students are already smack in the center of the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is downtown. Moving just S of I-20 isn't going to make it a haven of safety.
