I was I. School during the kudzu hill days. They can plant kudzu on the walls in the outfield but it just doesn't work the way it is. Hell. south Carolina, Kentucky, and UF have way better facilities. The west has light years better.
It’s still there and still kicks arse. It’s just not as dingy as it used to be (which to Finley’s point has robbed it of some of its charm) and they planted fricking trees at the top so it blocks the view of the houses come late Spring. Still draws a big crowd up there, though.

Love to see a stadium on the backside of downtown on the 441 side to get rid of the slums and create a downtown experience.
Athens has a big housing issue at the moment so this won’t ever happen. Nice thought but not realistic or feasible.
quote:5 points has taken off over the last 10 years. Lot of really nice indoor/outdoor eating and drinking spots. When we visit, I actually now prefer 5 points to downtown as lunch/dinner goes. Off the top of my head, they have El Barrio, The Pine, Marker 7, Sakura, Fully Loaded Pizza, Royal Peasant, LRG Provisions, Cali N Tito’s, Grindhouse, and Dinner Party (formerly Donna Changs)
I didn't even think 5 points dining was much of A thing anymore other than fine dining off of milledge.

I think MLB in Georgia is about to shrink and I would way rather support UGA than any pro baseball at any level. frick mlb for screwing all the people of Georgia and the kids who lost the all-star game experience.

You are correct sir. I’ve lived a block from five points for 24 years. It gets better and better. It has an outdoor courtyard feel and on weekends there’s tons of students and families hanging out. Also LRG is now Butcher and Vine, and you forgot to mention the ExPat (classic french) Christophers, Barberitos, Cafe on Lumpkin, 706 (sports grille) ,Condor Chocolate, and my personal favorite Independent Bakery. Five points is off the chain right now.
I love Foley's charm and location, but I’m biased since I can walk there in five minutes. Interest in UGA baseball waxes and wanes with the team's success and the weather. I doubt building an off campus palace would change that.
