No crap they don't need a new one. Didn't they just do some reno on the dome a few years ago?

The Georgia Dome hasn't even been paid for yet.

Yeah, but it wasn't any kind of renovation like the Mercedes Benz Superdome did.
I think we should keep the dome, but if Arthur Blank and future hotel guest in ATL are willing to pay for it, go ahead.

It looks stupid- and I'm a Falcons fan. There needs to be a Camden Yards-like renaissance in the NFL

It's a moot point, all parties have agreed a new stadium is being built. Who gives a shite whether they need to or not.

I'd much rather see a new, smaller baseball park on the proposed stadium site. I hate Turner Field

I am surprised Coca Cola didn't try to get in on the action. I mean, it is a Georgia founded company.

There or above the current location...just depends on whether two churches agree to be bought out.

Falcons absolutely don't need a new stadium and the whole thing is ridiculous. "Arthur Blank and the Falcons" will pay for most of it...which is to say that Falcons fans will pay for most of it. The city will kick in a few hundred million mostly paid for by out of town visitors. Whoever said the Georgia Dome is not yet paid for is correct, but my understanding is that it will be paid for before the new stadium is finished.

First design is over the top. I actually think it could turn out awesome. It could also turn out terrible. Very much a high risk, high reward.

Second design is okay. Kind of boring.

When is Atlanta scheduled to host its first college football semi-final? I wonder if they will shoot to have it done in time for that.

Maybe they'll put the next ballpark where the GA Dome currently sits.

Or maybe Ga State can build themselves a smaller stadium right there.

That would be great. I actually like Turner Field fairly well as a stadium, but the location is terrible. I have always thought it should have been built where the Georgia Dome is to take advantage of transit and to let people walk to it. People are much more likely to walk to and from baseball games and do stuff before and after the games. Football you need a ton of space for people to park and tailgate.

I heard they're planning on developing the blue lot into a shopping/dining area so I think they're in it for the long haul with Turner Field

would love for them to develop the area around Turner

hell, they were putting Bait Cars in the blue lot for the TruTV show
