Would have been oing backflips, living in Athens.

I've always hated Cobb county (it's an admittedly irrational hate, but I have always despised the county and Marietta. I think Kennesaw Mt is it's only redeemable quality). So, this move doesn't do a lot for me other than save me a few extra bucks on gas.

I wonder if we can get a sponsored stadium, which would allow for additional income to increase payroll


Delta, Coca-Cola, Home Depot...I'm Looking at you

It is way past due that Coca-Cola have their name on an Atlanta stadium.

Anyone else see that it's planned to hold "42,000 seats".....wtf???? 30-40K less seats for a new stadium? That's odd.

One, the Ted wasn't a 72,000 seat stadium, it was like 52K. Two, we should never, ever have had that large a stadium to begin with. I get it was the olympics but even the Dodgers struggle at times to fill their behemoth. I would be totally ok with a 38K-42K stadium. We get enough shite for empty seats.

Yeah we had one of the larger stadiums. Kind of tough to fill out 50k seats for a baseball game, especially with Atlanta fans.

It needed to be smaller to have less empty seats.

It'll take, what, 2 years before the novelty of a stadium in Cobb wears off and Braves stop selling out games?

Braves fans (Atlanta sports fans, really) are fickle as fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Took Minnesota like a year to stop bringing half the crowd and Miami a couple of months.

We're slightly better...maybe a season and a half.

This is what i was reading when I used the number. It says 85,000 seat stadium. Guess when they converted it to a baseball stadium they downsized it? I thought if anything it would stay about the same and being that they are using it for mixed-use development they would be able to fill it up with a bigger draw.

Can't wait! Stadium's going to be literally on the street I live on. Tailgating at the pool, and then walking to the game. Fantastic.

So glad I don't have to drive out of the way to get to a game now. Good riddens, Ted.
