Message: [QUOTE="CusefanATL, post: 2388301, member: 853"] the braves left because the mayor wouldnt let them purchase (no bid purchase) control of the land around the stadium. He also went behind their backs and gave money to Arthur Blank that he wouldnt give to Braves for reno. THe baseball stadium was also too big and was built for the olympics. They went 1 county north who gave a lot of public money to draw them (certainly a hot topic) but now everyone is for the better in Atlanta. Falcons, Braves, and United are going to stay in those 2 new stadiums for a much longer period that 20-25 years. And also Phillips did a huge renovation. This will be discussed for about 2 days and no one will talk about it again. Just random that 2 $billion stadiums/surrounding area went up at the same time. Didnt Philly do something similar a decade ago? [/QUOTE]
