I just read that the city believes they have an offer for $150 million for Turner Field. It would be turned into a football stadium for GA State,l at a cost of $300 million.


It would be a joint public-private development between GSU and Carter and would be a major campus expansion. $300 million would be the cost of modifying the Ted and developing its parking lots. This would also include re-purposing the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium lot for a new baseball field. LINK

Why don't they just use the GA Dome?


As a GSU alum, we should since it only costs about $70,000 per game to rent the Dome and would probably be the same for the new Falcons stadium.

What a complete clusterfrick...IF this EVER happens it'll look like something out of "Escape From New York" 10 years after it's done.

How in holy hell can GSU get more than 10K to 15K to come down there to watch FB? There's absolutly NO WAY there'd ever by enough revenue to pay for this pipe dream.

Tech can't come close to selling out unless its UGA,Clemson,FSU of Georgia Southern...how is Ga State going to draw anybody to come down there?
