thought the State owns the World Congress Center "Campus" but the Falcons own the actual Stadium



Nope but the Falcons are the operators.Which they weren't with the old Dome LINK

Don't disagree about it being a dick move by Arthur though.He can make it happen

In Alabama the games have rotated between Tuscaloosa and Auburn (Both Outdoor stadiums). Kids loved playing in those stadiums. GT and UGA should team together and do that.

Technically the State owns but they only own it for the purpose of AB avoiding paying his fair share of Taxes on a revenue producing property

I was off on that but the main gist is that the project was subsidized to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and he's nickle & diming HS FB in the State

Didn’t he sign an agreement a few years back to give more than half of his money to local charities when he dies? The more profit he makes, the better for your community.

What a dickhead he must be

Back when I was in school I got to see our semi final game at the Georgia dome but the championship was hosted at Parkview on our field. That was badass. Maybe they should just move it back to being hosted on someone's home field. Be a lot more fun

They aren't paying sales taxes on sales down there? I know NFL teams aren't tax exempt anymore so I'm assuming they're paying taxes on the revenue ad well.

Once again,I HIGHLY doubt any NFL teams that own their stadiums are paying property taxes.

You're not really comparing public schools to for-profit companies, are you?

Nope, just comparing state owned property with state owned property.

The State constitution of GA requires that you attend school until a certain age is reached

There's your constitutional requirement
