I hope they change the team name to the Cobb County Corn Dogs.



Has a nice ring to it.

Might have to pay royalties to LSU for that name.:icon_biggrin:

As far as stadium names go, I hate corporate names on ballparks, but that's the way you have to do it nowadays. Coca-Cola and Delta are two that make a ton of sense. But right now, I think UPS might like to get in on it. That is a Georgia based company too. Plus their big competition in the shipping business, FedEx, has their name on the Redskins stadium. I think FedEx also has the arena in Memphis. I could absolutely see the Braves playing in UPS Stadium come 2017.

An all UPS Brown stadium perhaps? Let the terd jokes commence!

But isn't the location upon which the new Pittsburgh stadium was built just a better, more aesthetically interesting – not to mention actually within its city – site than the proposed location for the new Braves stadium?

Then Cobb can get off its ass and build something pretty near the site of the stadium so fans will have a nice view during the game. Maybe an artificial waterfall or something, I don't know. I'm just the big picture guy.
 
You guys forget that Suntrust is Atlanta based. Suntrust Stadium.

UPS is Atlanta like Memphis is FedEx.

Chik Fil A wouldn't go that big, Coca Cola would be a no brainer. The question is what about the Falcons?

How about "Really Not Needed Stadium"?

Seriously, I never saw why the Falcons needed to have a new stadium, much less one that cost a billion dollars. From watching games on TV, it appeared to me the Georgia Dome was fine. I heard the mayor said the new stadium was needed for conventions. Why can't the dome and the Georgia World Congress Center do that anymore? Philips Arena?
 
Georgia Pacific Park/Field
Georgia Power Park/Field
UPS Grounds (haha! pardon the pun!)
Delta Park/Delta Field

It's going to take a while to get used to it. Let's just hope that it rolls in the $$$ so we can win some damn World Series'!

The Chattahoochee river is near there. A really gorgeous section, actually. I could see part of the stadium overlooking that. Plus, on clear days, you'll still be able to see the skyline. It just won't be as close.
 
For all those saying "Of course they'll make a MARTA line." Here's the Baron* of Cobb County:

It is absolutely necessary the (transportation) solution is all about moving cars in and around Cobb and surrounding counties from our north and east where most Braves fans travel from, and not moving people into Cobb by rail from Atlanta.

*not actually a Baron
 
I'm seeing a lot of drama about this over Twitter. People are acting like they are moving to a new state. They're not even moving to a new area code.

A retractable roof would prevent game delays and fans having to worry about getting wet at the game. I have gone to several games and gotten rained on and it isn't fun! So there is need for a retractable roof!

How many rainouts per year have the Braves had since 1997? Less than 1? Atlanta's weather is great - no need for a retractable roof.

Not in Atlanta. Again, it is money that could be better spent elsewhere.
