Interesting topic

You named a bunch of cities with two…

And Chicago stadiums are all 6-7 miles from each other, just doesn’t feel that way because Chicago is bigger than Atlanta

Could be a million reasons. IF she is actually single.

Atlanta is supposed to be a world class city, and none of those cities with 2, outside of Boston which really has 3 (forgot the Bruins), are looked upon that way. I always thought Fulton Co Stadium/Turner Field was a great spot for a tourist attraction; close to downtown, not far from the worlds busiest airport, and close to the interstate. If Boston can make Fenway work, surely Atlanta could too.

One thing I believe impedes Atlantas growth but also fuels the metro area growth is the county structures of government. Georgia has 158 counties, but yet more people live in metro atlanta than the rest of the state.

I always thought the Braves move to Cobb Co was to appease to the non black metro Atlantans, so I didn’t support the move.

Last thing I will say is I wish Atlanta stopped running through stadiums like toilet paper. Can they build a stadium that lasts more than 40 years? Or at least renovate what they have? I think the new Sphincter Dome is unnecessary, could have revamped the Georgia Dome

Alright I’ll put it like this..

NYC, Chicago, LA. Those cities are a cut above Atlanta in terms of size, economy, etc. that shouldn’t hurt any of our feelings.

The only cities you mentioned where you can say (3)…. You’re talking about hockey stadiums for both of them.. and Boston is irrelevant because the Celtics and Bruins share a stadium. I’m talkin the $ it takes for stadiums, not the team.

It just doesnt really happen very often. Cities very rarely can foot the bill for 3 stadiums in 1 county.

Unless yall live in Dekalb, I don’t understand why yall wanted to have another stadium on your tax bill so bad.. Truist is just far and away a much nicer stadium than Turner Field.. and it was also more expensive to build.

And if you’re talkin about Turner Field as a tourist attraction, it looks like a shyt box when it’s a mile away from a world class stadium like Mercedes Benz Dome, we’re hosting World Cup Games there in 2026 like come on

I was in Turner Field, last Year it was a Braves stadium, it didn't look like shyt box to me

I too was in Turner Field plenty in 2016. It’s a perfectly fine stadium. My point was that it isn’t much of a ‘tourist attraction’ when Mercedes Benz Dome is a mile away and legit a state of the art stadium

New dome was so the city could host a super bowl and other world class events

I disagree, I think they could have fitted everything in summer Hill pretty easily.

Hell naw. Getting the Braves off 75/85 was the best thing that could have happened in retrospect. The reason I didn’t go to as many games back in the Turner Field days is because it was a nightmare to get to and from games. You could easily sit in the parking lot and feeder streets for well over an hour.

T&G is still there but Lindbergh overall is ass now. Cheshire bridge is the land of sex shops and stepped on coke

Gotdamn. I live near the Lindbergh Station and the crackheads and homeless is insane. I went to the gas station and some bum was on my car like Ezell from Friday.

Homeless and illegal immigrants hanging around EVERYWHERE.

I can’t hit a public place here with out some nutcase hittin me with some “Hey young Brother!”, “Excuse me young blood!”.

nikka LEAVE ME ALONE. I look young but I’m in my late 30s

EarPods are a blessing and I have my GA CC license but these muhfukkas are insufferable.

Y’all have to check out Drawbar over there by Puttshack in midtown. It’s a nice vibe and some bad women be over there.

Holiday bar on the corner is cool too but it’s too packed.

Dope spot stayed at the Bellyard hotel over there. A Tapas spot over in that area named Barcelona is dope.
