I mean, if you want a white-washed sports experience without any real culture, the Battery is your cup of tea.

If you were to remove all the Braves signage, and simply replace it with Nationals regalia, and I told you that you were in Arlington, Virginia, you wouldn't know the difference.

The location sucks. If a majority of fans are indeed Suburbanites, and you are resigned to pandering to that, then cool. It's not Atlanta, it's suburbia. It's no different than Plano, Texas, Naperville, Illinois, the Woodlands, Texas, etc...

It's not an intolerable situation by any means. And the stadium is nice. It's just super unimaginative and bland.

And if one of your best memories as a sports fan isn't guzzling beer at a 50+ person tailgate underneath the sprawling shade tree in the blue lot for 4 hours, than I can see where there's a gap.

You could say the exact same thing about Turner Field. With the exception of the skyline, which isn't all that unique, you wouldn't know the surrounding ghetto wasn't in Dallas, Miami, Houston, DC, St. Louis, etc.

WTF, horrible takes. STP averaged over 42k in attendance just last weekend, the atmosphere is great, especially for families. I have nothing against ITP, lived in VA Highland for years, but STP has been a huge success, and like others have said, I don’t miss looking over my shoulder after a night game walking to my car in some shitty downtown parking lot.

Anyhow, looking at the mock drafts and few have us getting Texas center Jaxson Hayes at 10.
