No joke.

Turnout will not skyrocket beyond the first year novelty turnout.

Once people realize that the traffic to get there will be twice as bad as getting downtown weeknight games will be dead.

Cobb County can't support this by themselves and people in the city and east of 400 aren't going to fight to get there.

At least Marta can get you in the vicinity of Turner Field. There is nothing but gridlock in that area of town.

Yep. They better have gotten Cobb to agree to allow a train station before signing off on this. Otherwise weeknight attendance is going to rival Miami sometimes. It's smart to put the stadium closer to the core of the fanbase (Northern burbs), but it's dumb as shite to put it in Cobb.

They have got to figure out the traffic. If they can do that, attendance will be infinitely better than the current situation. This is in the heart of where the majority of the fanbase is located.

there is zero way they just decided this without major planning on commuting...this will be fine and Cobb County will flourish with the new stadium and surrounding "activities"
