Look up the number of cities w/ 3 major sports arenas all in one concentrated area… outside of Philly I can’t think of a single one….

NYC you got the football stadium in Jersey. Boston you got the football stadium in Foxborough…

Go to Chicago, you got the Bulls, Cubs and Bears, all playing at stadiums that are all 6-7 miles away from each other… And you’re talkin like Atlanta has the infrastructure to just have 3 stadiums all in a 2 mile radius…?

Go to Phoenix, you got the baseball and basketball stadium right next to each other, then you got the Cardinals playin way out past Glendale…. It just doesn’t happen bro.

To fit the stadium and the battery in Summerhill, they woulda had to get rid of neighborhoods there and displace people. Then we woulda heard the Braves are gentrifying downtown. It’s a no-win situation w/ people sometimes.

It all sounds easy until you realize we (at least those of us who live in Fulton County) would be footing the tax bill for all three of those stadiums…?

Personally I enjoy taking a 15 minute drive and enjoying all the battery amenities that I know Cobb County residents are paying for :yeshrug:

If the Marta ran to at least the Battery, I wouldn't even care that the stadium is up there.
