The Braves are moving to Cobb County

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.
 
What are you talking bout?! I'm a season ticket holder so I would know! There were several points during the season where I didn't go to game just because of the weather! And where else would the "money" be spent?

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

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.

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

Boy, the coded language just gets less and less coded over time, doesn't it?
 
I see plenty people here complaining about the attendance and I know for a fact that's why plenty of fans skip games. Nobody wants to sit in the rain and wait hours for a game.

Jay you need to learn a new song. Very few rainouts, even this year with the unusually high precip all summer. They do have these things called rainchecks in case you havent heard.

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. :whip:

I'm well aware. There's a huge list of teams that don't play in their actual city. The 49ers are another team about to join that list. I was just laying out the facts, since there are some people that do care about it. Was sort of surprised about that, really.
 
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.
