Jesus Christ. What a great example of an Olympics boondoggle. A modern stadium is only good for 20 years of service?


(a) built before the Olympics

(b) has/will host : Olympics, 2 Super Bowls, 3 Final Fours, 4 Sweet 16s, 1 Women's Final Four, 1 CFB Semifinal Game, 1 Sugar Bowl, 24 NFL Seasons, 3 NBA Seasons, 22 SEC Championship Games, 22 Peach Bowls, 10 SEC Basketball Tournaments, 2 ACC Basketball Tournaments, Gold Cup Soccer Matches, hundreds of concerts, hundreds of non-major sports events

(c) It, along with Centennial Park, basically completely revitalized 1/3 of Downtown Atlanta

Is it being demolished too early? Maybe. Boondoggle? Not even close. The Georgia Dome and the Olympics made Atlanta one of a handful of elite big event cities. It has paid for itself over and over again.

Yeah I don't mind what they are doing with the Georgia Dome.

Turner Field on the other hand...oooh boy.

Although the new Georgia State renderings they put out look very good. Can only help my Grant Park house continue to skyrocket. New housing bubble here we come baby.
