Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1055198, member: 716"] For Georgians, maybe it's not in the middle of nowhere. For out-of-towners, I'd argue that it is. A number of my friends wandered over to a Braves game during the Final Four weekend last year. Apparently the bulk of the crowd consisted of people in the same situation (people in Michigan and Louisville apparel). Turner Field is right near downtown; this was an easy option. No way most of those people would venture out to Cobb County. This was a totally backward decision; akin to Syracuse building its baseball stadium in a lousy location, only with the benefit of almost 20 years of additional evidence that these facilities work better in central locations with transit access. It's a bad thing for the city of Atlanta and the region as a whole. For people who live out there and want to drive their kids to a Braves game, congrats. [/QUOTE]
