Here are a couple of videos showing the Atlanta Stadium in a couple of different configurations.  With the newest technology, I think you could conceivably set things up to host a football game with 45K, a basketball game with 25K, a hockey game with 12K or even say a softball game.

It is pretty cool what can be done these days.

My feelings on this remain the same.  This isn't a question of if the Dome will be replaced, it is a question of when, and now, apparently where.

I think the need for parking/tailgating space for football games is going to make it really hard to fit the new facility anywhere downtown but if the state is willing to make a major contribution to make it happen now, it would behoove the University to look at different locations and pulled in timelines.

In the end, I think it is going to be build at Drumlins.  Drumlins is an ideal location for the facility in many ways.  It is close to 2 interstates, you can make access to the interstates happen without affecting neighborhoods nearby, the university already owns the land, there is plenty of space for additional structures that will help make the project more cost effective (hotel, mall, office, etc).  And it is on campus.

It is good though to see that the state is interested in helping on this.
