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.

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.

Exactly, the braves don't owe atlanta jack diddly. The city is the one who didn't cater to them. I am a braves fan, not an atlanta fan.

Are the dipshts of Cobb County happy about this move?
Will there be a Dale Murphy statue?

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

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.

The Cobb Crackers...
It does have a nice ring to it.

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

State was involved with the Ga Dome (100% financed BTW) not this this time around.Deal was with the city and financed by atlanta hotel motel tax.

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.
