If the think things I "kinda sorta know" aren't reliable, then MAYBE I'LL TAKE MY BALL HOME AND PLAY BY MYSELF.
Or there is this map from the internet, where nothing is ever wrong:

Darn, I guess locals won't be able to crank call Fredi as easily anymore.
Also, the new stadium will definitely be well past any "Atlanta: City Limits" signs. So the Atlanta address would be symbolic at best.
I will be upset if they spend money on a retractable roof. I'm pretty sure they aren't even considering it. It simply isn't necessary in Atlanta. With the drainage technology these days, rain outs are almost unheard of - even with the wet summer they were few and far between. And baseball is meant to be played in the hot weather. Texas would be the only ballpark that could possibly use a roof for heat.......it's brutal there. The Miami roof is there because of the rain, not the heat.
Then you should know that Atlanta doesn't get very many rainouts. Retractable roofs are only necessary for places with lots of precipitation during the summer months and extreme climate. So, you've sat through some rain delays. Boo-hoo. Who hasn't?
The money could obviously be spent on improving other, more important aspects of the stadium.
Unfortunately, I can't afford MS Paint. I had to steal it from the internet.

Yeah, in keeping with your hydro theme, this doesn't hold water. You got your feelings hurt bc you had to sit through a rain delay. Good news, Sally. They sell beer during rain delays! Drink til you hear CCR in your head. "And I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain...."
As I stated before, my ONLY trip to the ted was shortened by the hottest day I can remember in my entire life. We sat in the shade too.
That said, unless we had a substantial amount of rainouts, a retractable just isn't in the cards. And that's fine. And that's from someone who loves retractables. Just something about going topless....but not having to.

Looking at the map, it's almost too bad the Braves can't charter their flights out of Dobbins AFB.
Has there ever been serious talk about a smaller commuter airport in northern ATL?
there has been talks and a road built to connect the two airports. It's in Dallas but they shot the idea down many years ago to bring in large jets to that area. Something was just recently decided to make it a larger airport but I wasn't keeping up with it at the time, but I don't think it's to bring in that size jet still.
Cobb has just released a slew of information on stadium funding. More to follow.
