Who's going? Is that bridge fire on 85 gonna affect anything? I'm reading that road construction near the stadium might not be done in time for the first real game on 4/14.

Btw, Chipper gave an awesome interview on 680 the Fan the other day. Lots of good stories from His Radness.

Holy shite, come to think of it, that I-85 bridge collapse/fire may make a crazy traffic situation in the Atlanta area due to SunTrust Park even worse for this year. I didn't even think of it until now.

The area that collapsed is near Sandy Springs, and I can't remember where exactly, but I remember reading articles from a while ago that said SunTrust Park traffic might get redirected into Sandy Springs, and when you put on top of it, the I-85 detour traffic due to the collapse/fire, oh man.

If may affect things some, but most motorists using 85 to commute have better options than taking 285 West to 75.

Main way this will exacerbate the Braves is that a lot of people will be tempted to take 75 up to 285 to get back on the open section of 85 or 400.

75 & 285 is where the Braves are now.

Braves/Cobb will blame it on this for sure, and it will have some impact, but it's gonna let those snakes hide behind the collapse for the first year.

I'm working it . Shouldn't affect traffic too bad depending on where you're coming from but I take 20 to 285 and usually don't run into traffic until I get actually near he stadium.

It will be traffic though considering the stadium is literally a couple miles from Cumberland mall

Im a life long Braves fan. Even when they S U C K E D in the 80's. However, I am not a fan of this new stadium for two reasons.

1. The preivous stadium was perfectly good. Only built in 1996. The Ted was a great venue and ATL Braves belong in ATL.


2. This new stadium is in a perfectly shitty spot. The worst traffic in Atlanta happens at I-285 and I-75, Now, 82 times a year, we get douche bag braves traffic to completely frick up the traffic for all innocent commuters and for any unfortunate folks trying to get thru ATL on the way to Florida etc.
